Yup, Bairstow messed up and the blame should go solely to him. He’s been an international cricketer for a fair while, he really shouldn’t be doing things like that.

Yeah, can’t disagree with that. I heard someone refer to day 4 as a bounceathon, 98% of deliveries were classed as short balls. Doesn’t make for entertaining watching

Professional cricketers should not be just walking out of the crease like that.

Maybe he’ll reconsider having a beer with the Aussie boys after he’s reminded of this

Why? They seem very dull compared to the Aussie teams of the past

I know, they're still the dullest Australia team in years though. No Bret Lee, Warne etc.

Honestly, I'd much rather hang out with guys like Khawaja, Cummins, Marnus, etc, than boofheads like Shane Warne & Co.

So many instances of these are popping up in the aftermath. Even an opportunistic Bairstow stumping.
