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?

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!

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.

His father David Bairstow was a wicketkeeper - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bairstow

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

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.

 

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.

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
