4th Ashes Test: Australia v England @ SCG Jan 5-9, 2022

Plod Butler.

 

[hineyrulz]

How is Butler ahead of Bairstow as a keeper?? He bats worse as well.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Baldy getting absolutely brutalised here

Has @WaznTheGreat been talking about our sex life again?

 

[mave]

Bunniesman doing the business for the good of the country again.

He never fails.

 

[JJ]

OMG WE ARE SH!T WE NEED TO MAKE WHOLESALE CHANGES HOW DARE ENGLAND PLAY WELL

Yeah, change everything in the basis of one hour of good test cricket

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Buttler has phoned it in all series.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Was Paddington Bairstow not in the original touring party? FMD the guy has eaten Finchy’s breakfast, lunch and dinner.

 

[JJ]

England should declare, to dictate terms

 

[Sphagnum]

Lol at the poms leaving bairstow out of the first 2 tests.

 

[Smug Panther]

No worries Hulk....

It's in no way dangerous fmd

 

[Bazal]

Bairstow is another one who's been stitched up by England's rotation policy.

Like, he's not a star but of he's not a better bat than half the planks they've picked ahead of him recently then Bunniesman is actually in Mensa

 

[hineyrulz]

These two bat deep into tomorrow, get a first innings lead, we crumble while batting and all of a sudden England wins in one of the greatest comebacks ever. To equal Calcutta 2001 and Headingley 2019.

Well done son.

 

[hineyrulz]

Puddin Bairstow playing a nice little cameo here. Deserves a ton.

 

[JJ]

Bairstow is a good player, like Broad hard to understand why he’s not been playing- for him it on the basis of what Pope, Buttler or Crawley might do… English management needs a hard upper cut

England seem more interested in managing players for the future rather than winning the game at hand

Yeah but when they finally pick them all in 2027 they'll be so well managed they can't possibly lose!

 

[baggygreen man]

Bairstow is a good player

Not for a Top 6 batsman with a @34 Test average he aint. Has passed 50 only 28 times from 140 innings. I call that moderate at best. Playing a good knock today tho.

Yeah but he's got some balls, another commodity sorely lacking in the current English top 6

 

[Bazal]

Bairstow looks as fit as Stokes.

No souls and 43 injuries between the pair

#OnThisDay in 2011, England celebrated a 3-1 #Ashes series win after an innings victory at the SCG! They haven’t won a Test in Australia in the 11 years since then.
