BBC finally acknowledge the Bairstow story four hours after it breaks.
YawnNot in the cricket thread it isn't.

I wasn't aware until you raised it, seems he got a couple of catches as well. Give me a nudge when he plays proper cricket again . In all seriousness I hope it gives him the boost his career needs as he's spent the last 2 years or so looking lost.Will the first 100 in the hundred from Somersets Will Smeed get Paddy to raise an eyebrow and will Henry Brookes taking five wickets get TT choking on his bedtime cocoa?
And he has signed for the UAE league. Poor show.Boult has cancelled his NZ contract. He says he's had enough of touring and wants to spend time with his family which is fair enough, he's been around for a long time now and doesn't owe them anything, but it'll be a crap look if he then goes and signs up to a load of franchise leagues.
Big Mo fan but I think picking him for the test series is the ultimate kick in the teeth for any young aspiring spinner in the County Championship. Not only has he retired from the 5 day test format for England, he hasn't played a four day county champ game for Worcs since 2019.I can see him going as second spinner for the Pakistan tour. Surrey have used him as a front line bowler in red ball all season (I know you know this )
Risky but I'd rather play him than Mo.
