There's no future in England's dreaming
Great for Bairstow, at last a batsman actually did what they get paid for. Even if it was his first test century for over 3 years, and in 39 innings in 21 tests.
But we were still 36/4. Nothing has really changed has it. Bairstow was chanceless (something you'll never, ever say about a Burns innings). But Stokes rode his luck and it could easily have been yet another 150 all out. Or less. I hope nobody is getting carried away because our fast bowler hit a quick 39. After taking one wicket in Australia's innings.
Celebrate good times, come on. Still 160 behind with 3 wickets left and reliant on the forecast rain to salvage a draw and no 5-0 drubbing. Whoopee.
And the result of all that? Probably Buttler goes. Bairstow becomes wicket keeper. Never scores another hundred. And Foakes remains sitting on his arse doing nothing.
The shambles continues. But well done Johnny. This time.
