Ok I’m biased but we should be ahead in this series on dropped catches alone add in no balls and missed stumpings it’s difficult to see us getting the ashes back at this point couple bad rain days and it’s over

I think the whole country agrees with you, me included, that Bairstow should not be behind the stumps. He's taken an excellent catch this Test at OT but that doesn't make up for all the other bollocks he has dropped. Foakes is a way better keeper and a good bat, granted not as good a bat as Bairstow, but he's no mug. Bairstow looks overweight, and very stiff. I've noticed that he struggles to take balls that bounce in from of him. His legs are rigidly straight and he can only bend his back to attempt to get down and gather the ball rather than bending his legs at the knees and getting down low. Probably hasn't fully recovered from his horrendous injuries.
