What a knob Bairstow is. Does **** all, isn't a test standard player, catches a dolly and gesticulated to the crowd like he's pulled down the Leo Barry mark in the 05 GF.

****.

Well played, People's Champ. Too effort. Shame to throw it away to that nothing Swann.

Good if fortunate knock but that was hideous. Looked like he was trying to slog-sweep using the side of his bat.

People's Champ? Is that an Australian version of "Working Class Hero"?
He's just the People's Champ, the Battler's Prince. Fidgety, hideous, ugly to watch, has technical issues but tries his guts out. If he was English, of course, that would make him par for the course.

But because he's Australian: a nation of athletically, technically and aesthetically gifted people, he stands out as an endearing character - like the humorous but backward cousin at a family BBQ.
