Keep sooking Jonny

[Rabish Binney]

That's awesome ha ha, your keeper needs to be a campaigner, they certainly need to be a leader in terms of sledging. I always think of how annoying Ian Healy must have been behind the stumps, hard to handle just listening to his commentary!

I cant remember his name but the Pakistan keeper just doesn't shut up.

I look forward to this incident becoming a talking point once again in both countries once season 3 of the Test is released on Friday.

The other side of it too is that Jonny Bairstow is an irreconcilable whinger. He wears the expression of a man perpetually aggrieved and vindicated. When things are going well it's as though he deserves it, the hero of his own story; when things are going badly, he behaves as though something unjust was done, as though he were tricked or cheated out of his rightful dues.

I have no problem with the dismissal, but I reckon if I saw my father's body hanging from the staircase when I was eight years old, I'd probably feel like the world was against me, too, tbh.

No doubt that would have been traumatic.

Good story below however.

Cricket fan tracks down Bairstow to gift him gloves signed by dead father

A cricket fan who as a child won gloves signed by the late David Bairstow manages to track down his son — England keeper Jonny Bairstow — and return the gloves as an emotional gift in Adelaide.

MCC CEO Guy Lavender confirms what we already knew that Australia didn't breach the spirit of cricket and that there'll be greater space between the poshest of poshos in the long room and Australia's cricketers during the ODI between England and Australia at Lord's in September.

They've finally realised what a liability he is and dropped him for the Windies series.

He only lasted this long because he won the greatest moral victory in cricket history.

ahhh screw you Gough I had this marked in my calendar and have been waiting all year to do the reminder post about this!

One of cricket's great moments.

 

[kickazz]

Checked my mates' WhatsApp group and can confirms the exact time was 9:43PM AEST. (9:13 ACST, 7:43 AWST)

Perhaps we should all stop at that time and commemorate with a minute's laughter,

The initial reaction of the English commentator (Phil Long?) is gold.

 

[Freezin]

Seems like Baz has marked this anniversary, by dropping JB for the 1st test v WI

Thanks for the memories Johnny

Even Joe Root has finally seen the light.

So traumatised is Jonny that's he's spent the last year doing nothing but eating. As such he's not been dropped, it's just that no one is strong enough to pick him up anymore. Poor fellow needs counselling.

 

[icyflakes]

I would have much preferred him stay in the side - he literally lost the Ashes for England last year, 17 dropped catches and walking out of his crease. Windies could use him

That particular album cover helped fuel the "Paul is dead" rumours. Now Jonny's Test career seems dead.

There's a gag about Johnny Bairstow and Carry That Weight in there somewhere.

 

[cricketnut14]

is it too early too call that he's perhaps played his last test ?

Unfortunately for lunch caterers, I suspect he might have.

Bairstow didnt ever recover the form after his freakish leg break injury. He seemed to be at the peak of his game and then he got that weird injury on a golf course. When he returned he just didnt seem to be the same player.

More sooking. Look I'd try and dismiss a series we got belted in, and he personally got hit in the junk like 10 times , so yeah it's an asterisk

FFS, how much more sooking are these blokes going to do?

I actually didn't mind Joe Root but now he's just a whiny little turd.

He embarrassed himself (as did Broad) last year when he called for an extra days play to make up for the lost time during rain delays.....only for footage to appear showing both of them celebrating England getting a draw because of rain back in 2013 (I think?)..

And now this garbage.
