Ben Foakes vs Johnny Bairstow

[PlayerComparisons]

Two best wicketkeeper bats in the world

Who is better right now?

 

[Owzat]

loaded dice, nice!

Will just observe that with the bat as keeper Bairstow averages 40 batting #6 and #7, otherwise you need runs on the board which England didn't post in order for any supremacy of keeping to tell.... (hence 1-4 in India)

 

[Socerer 01]

Foakes easily

its hard to maintain a consistent record when you are in and out of the side on a series basis like Foakes. the only time Foakes has had a consistent spot in the team was in that 1st Bazball summer till the NZ away tour ended and he averages 38.9 in that period and even there he didnt play a test in Pakistan. despite the flat pitches tax thats a good return for a world class keeper

but there will still be some ******** comparisons with Chris Read or some specialist keeper who couldnt bat to save their lives because some individuals here love their strawmen

 

[Coronis]

Head > Wade > Foakes > Bairstow

 

[Aidan11]

Foakes has the gloves at present and Bairstow is struggling for form. JB can be explosive when his form returns.

Foakes should have had a 100+ test career

Foakes should have had a 100+ test career

Should've played lots of Tests with Stokes and Woakes too.
