International Debutant
This is mostly idiotic batting not 'positive'. No wonder Foakes was dropped if this is the gameplan.
Suspect they felt Bairstow had such an amazing season last year they had to find a place for him. Unfortunately, he's not in the same form and his keeping is well below that of Foakes. Not sure what his preparation was like coming back from a serious leg injury.
