Bairstow, Bresnan plunder record 366-run stand - chairman - 06-29-2015
"Greed is good" preached Gordon Gekko devoutly in Oliver Stone's 1987 film Wall Street "greed is right, greed works." And if Yorkshire's cricketers want to celebrate Monday's remarkable cricket at Chester-le-Street, they might do worse that arrange a celebratory showing of the movie at a Headingley multiplex. Bollinger and Beluga thrown in, naturally.
Its satirical content, however, might elude them; not because they are daft - on the contrary, Andrew Gale's cricketers are very astute professional men - but because against Durham their lust for runs did, indeed, work for them. On an afternoon which many Yorkshiremen will remember for as long as they can remember anything at all, Jonny Bairstow and Tim Bresnan put on an unbroken 366 for the seventh wicket. "'Ow many?" the county's disbelieving yet delighted supporters in distant Bradford or Bramley might have asked when told the news. Well, I suppose it makes a change from "Ow much?" the question unfairly put into the mouth of the caricatured Yorkshireman.

I feel for Bairstow. He has the talent and ability to be England's number one wicket-keeper. His First-Class numbers are actually superior to Buttler's. That being said, Buttler, is for me, a game changer. He is such a destructive batsman that is not afraid to take the attack to the bowlers. His positivity and free scoring nature is the catalyst for England's middle order.
There has been some chatter about the possibility of playing both Buttler and Bairstow together. In doing so, one of Ballance of Bell would likely miss out. Personally, I think both Ballance and Bell will be given the entire Ashes series this summer. Should either falter, Bairstow would be a solid replacement especially in light of his current form (he has notched 3 centuries and 3 fifties in just 8 First-Class innings this year).
