The argument has been done to death but he's a fabulous white ball cricketer who isn't quite up to being a consistently test class batsman.
For reference, he averages 0.13 more than John Crawley in test cricket.
He's a bit marmite and people are entitled to their opinions, but he can come across as a bit entitled IMO.

I think we all know what comes next, so I will oblige.....
For reference, he averages 0.84 more than Jos Buttler in test cricket.
For reference, Butler averaged 81 in his last eat series, Bairstow averaged 23 in his last series. Both had weaknesses batting at Test level. Difference is Butler acknowledged his weakness,worked on it and rectified it. Bairstow didn't acknowledge his weakness.I think we all know what comes next, so I will oblige.....

Buttler averaged 24 in the same series.
But I think you're not taking that post with the humour with which it was intended.
I didn't no but my point still stands that Bairstow isn't going to return to the test arena until he acknowledges and addresses the problem. Adopt legend Otis attitude when dropped "Don't get bitter, get better".

I'm working nights mate, don't take the piss out of people working shift work please.
No argument, you just keep referencing him having a bad attidue with absolutely zero evidence and providing no examples
no idea why you have a problem with him, seems to be based on him scoring a 100 in Sri Lanka
As I say, only in England
shame as you used to be a decnt poster
Based on what?
good to see you read none of the analysis, his history, what he has overcome, and just slagged him off again for absolutely no reason, nice one mate
kind of proved my point ths thread, gets more stick than any other England player I can remember, for absolutely no reason.

I'm not slagging him off, I'm giving an opinion - something which you struggle to deal with when it differs from your own.
Based upon him having the dummy out whenever he is dropped or has the gloves taken off him. Fair enough he's disappointed but he's made some barbed comments on occasion about it rather than taking it on the chin and going away to work on his massive technical flaw.
I know you'll say that the keeping issue is because of his Dad etc but I don't care, he's not the only sportsman who'll have suffered adversity at a stage in their life, however unfortunate it is. It doesn't give him a free pass to act like a spoilt child.
Stop taking the piss out of him for working nights ffs
