Bairstow triggered by someone eating a burger in the crowd.

Akash Balls Deep with a good first session.

5/112 @ lunch. Blue skies, nothing but blue skies

 

[jargan83]

Bairstow scored 38 which is usually seen as a bit average, but it's a Bazaball 38 so will be glorified until the end of time.

I can see clearly now sensible cricket has gone.

Bairstow scored 38 which is usually seen as a bit average, but it's a Bazaball 38 so will be glorified until the end of time.

His sr was over 100 so that was as good as a double century in Bazball parlance.

38 runs plus out before lunch so able to be first in line at the buffet.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Root striking at 40 and not getting out scooping, this isn’t the Bazball they’ve been defending all week!

 

[Eelectrica]

Buzz will have a serious talk to Foakes and Root about their commitment to Bazball.

A strike rate of 43 and 26 is just not Bazball.
Quincey would have loved Bazball, could have score the most exciting 9’s until the end of time.

 

[Bazal]

I realise I made a random Fallout joke earlier in the T20 thread but synchronistically the drone shots of Ranchi look like the f**ken Capital wasteland

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Hopefully Root brings up his century with a reverse helicopter scoop off the back of his bat otherwise does it really count?

 

[jargan83]

Root doesn't bat like a 12 year old with ADD and knuckles down and scores a 100.

Baz will be furious.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Well Joe Root just showed what a waste he has been for 2 years now.

Bat normally and looks what happens.

 

[hineyrulz]

Ellen is going to be booted out of the Bazball slogging Derp club.

 

[simmo1]

Apparently batting normally is also Bazball.

 

[JJ]

Joe Root shows he remains a great test bat, as opposed to decent Baz Baller

 

[Fangs]

Fortunate that England have Joe Root and future hall of famer Ollie Robinson.

Looking forward to seeing their offies in the second innings.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

If Floginson can survive for that long it looks a decent batting strip.

 

[Twizzle]

 

[King-Gutho94]

I was getting worried there for a while Knobinson was a chance of getting a test 100.

If ever there was a least deserving prick in 150 years of test cricket for a player to score a test 100 it's him.

At least Pigeon still has him covered for a higher test score of 61.
