Bairstow or Brook?

[Fuller Pilch]

If England can only pick one of them, which one would you pick, and why?

They are all ****

Brook is quality

Just wait. You usually have one player injured/out of form so may not matter.

For the record I don't see Brook being dropped unless he has a disaster tour after Christmas.

They'll go the last option, interesting to see who keeps.

Bairstow over Pope.

Worth noting how much Pope has improved with gloves since that NZ game a few years ago when he looked clueless.

By Bairstow over Pope do you mean Bairstow will keep? I suppose it might affect his batting. Also reckon will Pope continue to bat 3? Not like there's many other decent choices.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Root can open.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Both excellent Bazballers. It'd be good to see them Bazball together.

It’ll have to be Crawley…

Only quality Brooks I know of is from Swashank Redemption

Harsh on Foakes, but it’s got to be him. Just not convinced by the argument Bairstow will forget how to bat if given the gloves.

Good running shoes

 

[BazBall21]

What a film

 

[Burgey]

Bairstow easily. Brook can’t have done any more but he’s daybooed on some flatties. Bairstow was great this year for England

 

[BazBall21]

Yeah the question is Brook or Foakes. Bairstow will definitely be there.

 

[GIMH]

Drop Root and play both

 

[Blenkinsop]

Pope has done OK since moving to 3, so why not Brook to open? That way we can finally get shot of Crawley and make room for both Bairstow and Foakes.

Uproot Root, sow Bairstow, reap Brooks.

Nah Stokes. In fact he can open.
