Didn't know you are into young blokes lol
Almost averaged less than Buttler but in county cricket
Are people seriously suggesting dropping players after 1 game after no proper practice n 3 months without cricket???
Bess has always been my type. Get england to 220 lead and he will win the game tomorrow

Thinks its more historical with Buttler, he has had alot of chances to prove he is our best keeper-batsman and he just is not at the standard that we should expect in red ball cricket. This one is more complex on who you bring in. Bairstow has fairly equal red ball form in previous tests, not great. Foakes has been poor domestically but the question is do you give him a chance to prove himself at international level or persist with Buttler.

Is it the 1980s curly mop on top and shaved at the sides. Dancing to orchestral manoeuvres in the dark.
So a lot better record than foakes last year then
Nobody should be getting dropped after 1 test
Ridiculous man
What do you want your keeper averaging by the way?

Cruising along 3 wickets down, then typical England throw it all away and will do well to set 200 pathetic
Bairstow is by far the best keeper batsman in England like, probs needs a break though
People are obsessed with the keepers like, go on like they should be averaging 40 or someit
Very few in history have
People do realise they are batting 7??? With the tail you know
Often out playing attacking while trying to keep the strike

Another player you are happy with not scoring many

Don’t think we can blame buttler
Openers set less than 100
Stokes happy with 40
Denley struggling to hit past 30 as per
Crawley has stepped up in the second innings hitting a decent score
Bess and wood can hold their own with the bat so may rely on them.

You make good points on the average, batting position and batting with the tail, but i would still say like Bairstow, Buttler needs a break from test cricket. He has been all over the place for a while now
