July 31, 201511 yr I'm sure they're lovely people, but too many Yorkshire players get promoted above their ability thanks to the Boycott/Vaughan axis of hype. He's taking Taylor's spot, not for the first time in their careers. Lyth to be replaced by Lees?
July 31, 201511 yr Nice drop, Clarkey He's had an absolute mare. Should of bowled first at the toss. Two failures with the bat, dropped catch. Edited July 31, 201511 yr by famouswanderer
July 31, 201511 yr He's had an absolute mare. Should of bowled first at the toss. Two failures with the bat, dropped catch. Talk about him being dropped!
July 31, 201511 yr Nowt on Cricinfo to that effect but he's number 29 on the list of Yorkshire caps. I recall seeing a scorecard for an ancient Yorkshire match which included a Bairstow (and furthermore I think he was the wicketkeeper), which caused me to look (unsuccessfully of course) on Cricinfo and then google Yorkshire caps.
July 31, 201511 yr Sometimes, everything in the world seems to be in its rightful place and it is good to be alive. It's only Friday neet and I am already looking forward to going back to work on Monday
July 31, 201511 yr superb.never been a massive fan of cricket, but got right into it over the last few days. i have been converted.
July 31, 201511 yr Enjoying a celebratory pint just down from the ground. Decent amount of cricket today, Bell was quality.
July 31, 201511 yr Enjoying a celebratory pint just down from the ground. Decent amount of cricket today, Bell was quality. Highest ever Edgbaston test score by any Warwickshire player.

July 31, 201511 yr Just great Ashes could be back home in 9 days Convict wankers The ones I have met today have been good lads.
July 31, 201511 yr The ones I have met today have been good lads. The ultimate contradiction; how come they are the nicest people until it comes to cricket? Having visited Australia a few times, they are the friendliest people until it gets to the Ashes
August 1, 201511 yr One has to remember that they secretly hero worship all that is English. They just put on this front because they have to.

His dad, sadly he committed suicide.
August 1, 201511 yr His dad, sadly he committed suicide. Everyone knows that - I'm talking about a player in the 1880s/90s.
August 2, 201511 yr Everyone knows that - I'm talking about a player in the 1880s/90s. This 'un: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Bairstow
August 4, 201511 yr This 'un: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Bairstow Excellent, but it still begs the question as to whether (and if so how) he is related. Specialist wicket keeper (albeit usually batting at 11) from Bradford are both indicators, but I'm sure Bairstow is a Bradford name.

Specialist wicket keeper (albeit usually batting at 11) from Bradford are both indicators, but I'm sure Bairstow is a Bradford name. As Arthur died (near Knutsford) 6 years before David was born, and David died when Jonny was 8, it does seem feasible that Arthur is Jonny's great-great-grandfather or a sibling of same without Jonny and Andy even being aware.
August 6, 201511 yr Aussies packing out the batting, with only 4 bowlers Hoping for an injury to either remaining Mitch
August 6, 201511 yr won the toss and bowling ee, how things have changed cook will get so much stick if it doesn't come off no win, really if he bats and gets turned over, another stick to beat him with
August 6, 201511 yr cook will get so much stick if it doesn't come off no win, really if he bats and gets turned over, another stick to beat him with He'll be Captain Fantastic if they are out today
