Glad the selectors listened!

Bairstow only has himself to blame. Anderson has an average of 9.2 for a reason. Therefore Bairstow shouldn’t have been taking a single until the final ball. In all likelihood the field would have come in and he would have found it easier to get a boundary and thus his century.
As for the game. Fingers crossed we can somehow get 30-40 overs in over the next couple of days.
A bit harsh on Bairstow, the shot he played down the ground he obviously thought there was two in it, so would have retained the strike. I think it's always better to have a wicket keeper batman than a specialist keeper like Foakes ;D
Looks like the good old British weather is going to win the Ashes for Australia :O
A glimmer of hope - 2pm inspection if the rain stays away.
