His form of late has been shit, he was dropped and there were "concerns with the T20 WC coming _Englandā€™s Bairstow was dropped for Punjabā€™s previous two games and responded with a brutal display of striking that included eight fours and nine sixes._ _His 45-ball century was the quickest by an Englishman in the IPL, beating his own 52-ball effort from 2019._ More than the stat, that performance is REALLY good news for England ---

I watched some of this yesterday afternoon, it was indeed brutal, 0ver 500 combined runs from less than 40 overs. But I think it has to be put into context. There was an article from Sunil Gavaskar the other day in which he said that it has gone too far in favour of the batting side. The organizers of the IPL have reduced the length of the boundaries even more, some of them little more than 50 metres. It is 20 metres between the wickets, so some boundaries are under 3 times that length which is nothing at all for international cricketers, boundaries for 10 year olds are that in this country, itā€™s ridiculous and has little to do with proper cricket IMO. In fact it probably is to the detriment of cricket in regard to the development of young players. But sadly, just like the cricket board in this country, the money men are in control as evidenced by the hit and giggle nonsense that is The Hundred that now takes precedence here, and the interests of proper cricket and proper cricket lovers come a very poor second. History and tradition mean absolutely nothing to these charlatans. Itā€™s very sad. ---
