Think both are fantastic white ball players. Bairstow is a very good test cricketer when he is focused on red ball only, the white ball stuff distracts him and makes him a worse red ball player for me. Buttler is an decent test player, not consistent enough to be anything better. Can we do better? We won't know unless we give Foakes a string of tests home and away.

Very much so. Think they were 2nd and 3rd highest scorers in the WC after Lord Stokes, vital players. Absolutely world class. Pretty much a different sport to Test cricket now thought.

Oof, that's a jaffa.
 
Why is all the chat about dropping number 7 when none of the top 5 got a big enough score??

See what I mean

Makes no sense
 
I said Foakes will have his chance before the summer is over.

Unfortunately Buttler just can't get his technique right for test match cricket.

Next two games perhaps his last chance. Although the selectors do keep trying to make him happen.

Foakes was man of series in Sri lanka and we might be going to India in the winter. I'd rather him settled more into the side by then.

Gonna need wood to do something here. Archer been an absolute bunny so far.
 
The whole keeper problem stems from the fact Bairstow should have never been moved from 7.

His technique has gone completely out of the window since then unfortunately for him. He doesn't come back in until he can prove that
