FMD some of the garbage that the poms have allowed to get to 100 tests is embarrassing.The greatest man in history. Who averages 36. And doesn’t know the rules. And is a Wadey class keeper. And a wanker.
Jonny Bairstow at 100 caps: A century of spirit and resilience
One of England's most combative cricketers reaches a milestone that reflects the pride he brought to his cricket
Mark Butcher and Mark Rampakash must feel cheated.
Could throw Graeme Hick in that lot.
Foakes is averaging slightly more than him this series without being hopeless with the glovesGranted quite a few tests as keeper for Bairstow. However this article before the India test series states that he averages slightly less when he isn't keeping:
England must not make Jonny Bairstow feel like he is on trial again
When Jonny Bairstow walks out in Hyderabad on Thursday and if Ben Foakes has regained the wicketkeeper berth, it will be the eighth different year that the Yorkshireman has been picked as a specialist batsman for England in Test cricket.

Ben Stokes says his England team have "massively evolved" on the tour of India, despite losing the series.www.bbc.com
Stokes on Ollie Floginson:
"His work ethic away from playing was very good - he gave himself the best chance of being in a position to win that game for us," said Stokes. "The thing to look at is that he was out on the field, trying to influence the game even though he wasn't feeling 100%.
"A lesser man would have put their hands up, walked away and not even tried."
Delusional.

England now having a competition to find the greatest batter to average 31
“He’s the greatest ever player to average 31 [32.46] in Test cricket,” responded Vaughan. “I’ve not seen a better player that is averaging 31 in Test matches. He makes batting look so easy. You watch him, and he strolls to the crease, and before you know, he’s 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, raises his bat, plays great hits down the bat, and he whips one through mid-wicket.
