How do you know? Has he slid into your DM’s and told you?
How do you know? Completely unfair comments
Still desperate to play test cricket, hasnt retired from anything.
Yeah I took a bit of a breath when I seen that and I am his biggest fan!!
Obviously it is Root.
I suspect what he meant was he thinks he is probably one of the most naturally talented and more championship cricket could only help him get better at red ball cricket.
All probably irrelevant now as I suspect he will stick to white ball cricket, where he is simply a brilliant player.
Top 10! just a typo
Its really not that big of a statement!
Bairstow and Root are the best red ball players we have in terms of county records, if they played like every game every year they'd be miles ahead IMO.
But we've picked so many players from coutny cricket in the last 6 or 7 years, and Buttler has done better than all of them, despite barely playing any red ball cricket at all
My only point was as you say if an alternative univerise where white ball cricket had never been invented, he'd be a lot better.
Dont think its a big over the top point at all.
The last point, you are probs right but its not 100%, all depends on who gets appointed and what the plan is long term for schedules etc.
He had a bad year but was pretty good in the spell before that, he gets unfair stick on here, considering almost everyone above him scores less runs than him
For example the next time we go to Asia, if its played on spinning wickets like we got in Sri Lanka or India then he absolutely has to be in the side. One of the best players we have on the beaches, big reason we won 5 in a row in Sri Lanla, which most other sides dont
