O/T Why isn't Bairstow in the England Team?

The only time I went to a test match it was ruined by hundreds of black guys who thought it was a hoot to constantly shake beer cans filled with pebbles. Luckily they hadn't heard of vuvuzelas.

No doubt it was an Edgbaston test match so packed with “locals”

My guess is the Oval in the 70s early 80s.

No, it was Headingley. I've still got splinters in my rrse from the benches. I t was a long time ago, I was very drunk and I think our only decent batsman was a South African; Lamb? Might just have been Old Trafford. Definitely not Edgbaston as I would only visit Birmingham flying a nuclear bomber.

He did indeed, he refused to move his feet and kept getting caught behind, this may work in one day but not in test cricket

250 will be a tough chase. What do you think?

What on earth does it matter what people think, Wan? I thought a goal up against a frankly w*nk bad Croatian side the World Cup was ours. But my thoughts mattered nothing while the spineless surrender of our overpaid players and useless manager mattered much. Oh, sorry, wrong sport!

Buttler is a liability behind the wicket. Three easy chances missed already

There must be a reason he gets selected. Let me think.

Well done England.

Don’t you just love the haters.

See Buttler is having another nightmare.

He needs to book his ideas up that lad.

TBF he did say behind the wickets.

I think the question was 'why isn't Bairstow in the England team?'
