Well. it's Buttler for the NZ tests and Bairstow for the T20's.

I'm not surprised that Bairstow has been dropped for the test series. I am surprised he's in the T20 squad though.

If ever there was proof that Ed Smith talks utter sh1te then this is it

But Smith told BBC Sport he does not want to restrict Bairstow to a specialist batsman role on his return.

"I wouldn't want to reduce his options, I want to expand them," insisted Smith.


expand them?

so he wants to play him as a batsman, a wicket keeper and also a bowler?

poor bloke will be shattered in Mr Ed's world

no wonder he needs a break
