Early batting, the English team's headache and the appearance of Jonny Bairstow.



 English batting has long been a concern for early batsmen. Alastair Cook The British have yet to find an authoritative opener in Test cricket.

 Haseeb Hameed tested, Rory Burns played 32 Tests, Dom Sibley was also given many opportunities, Zack Crowley has also played around 24 Tests but is not giving up, Oily  Pope was also tested at the top numbers but all in vain.

 In this case, another opener, Alex Hails, was tried. Alex Hails seemed to me to be the best opener in all of them. He has not been able to do a great job yet, but he is better than others in terms of technique.  Alex Lease goes on to score runs, not arbitrarily defensive.

 In the Edgbaston Test against India, the English openers once again failed miserably, Jasprit Bumrah took the first three wickets, you look at those wickets again, Alex Hails had only good hair and the other two lost their wickets.  Zack  Crowley was playing so far from the body that the edge was supposed to be, just as Pope had a distance of about a foot and a half between the pads and the bat, so how can you play the ball down, Root already this time  Thought they would play the ball over the slip, but Siraj's ball came in as soon as it was short.


 The Indian early batsmen also got out early but they looked like good bowlers, their batting technique was not in question but the batting technique of the English batsmen has not improved yet and secondly they seemed to be playing in fear. Bumrah Ball is not firing a missile.


 Jonny Bairstow is in charge of English batting and he has just completed his eleventh century. Three of three, three centuries in three Test matches. Jonny Bairstow is in the best form of his life.  So it was washed, it did not spare even India and the answer is brick with stone.


 It is fun to watch Jonny batting, the weather is beautiful outside and Jonny has warmed the atmosphere on TV.
