The run out is why I just don't trust Bairstow, he does things like that far too often.

It was when he was just breaking into the England team. Whenever anyone spoke to him, he would apparently say "I would introduce myself, but you already know who I am".He may have changed since then, but he definitely has the air of a dickhead about him.

Bairstow always strikes me as having a bit of a chip on his shoulder. I really took a dim view of his comments after his century in Sri Lanka a couple of years ago. I can’t remember the specifics but I remember thinking it was disrespectful of Foakes, a new player making his way.I appreciate Bairstow has had to go through some horrible circumstances, but I feel he directs his emotions in the wrong way sometimes. No denying he’s a fine player though, but he has some gaps in his game in Test cricket.
Sounds like you've watched cricket all over! Are you in the Barmy Army or something?

A group of us travel together and we use the Barmy Army for information on tour dates, ticket availability and suitable accommodation. They get hold of good information early however we keep away from the gatherings whilst on tour. Some of them seem to have an ordained sense of importance as the only fans fit to support England and everyone else is an imposter. Mind you having said that one of their main songwriter/starter is a lad from Alvechurch a massive Villa fan. So he's ok .
Good effort to get across the line without any further horrors today.
