possibly

I am still not 100% sure he won't end up keeping wicket again

the media have been getting carried away with Foakes, like he is keeping on a different level or someit, which just isn't true

He has started class but will need to keep batting and scoring runs in England, which isn't easy, I think we take Bairstow's average at 7 for granted a bit



He'd have caught it himself, as he is a world class gloveman :confused:

its bizarre that that this board seems to want to slag off the one person who scored a 100 in the game

could be tight this, still think england were 75-100 short
I have no issue with bairstows keeping when batting 7 and as I’ve said countless times in an ideal world with a top order of Strauss, cook, trott, KP etc etc he’d be perfect there.

The issue is we don’t have that and it’s too much to bat top 5 and keep wicket and given we have equally competent keepers in butler and foakes we can tell him to concentrate on his batting and get in the top 5 as that’s what’s best for the team. What’s best for Jonny Bairstow is irrelevant.
