You look through the batting avg of both sides and baring Smith and Labuschagne it's been pretty shit. Even Stokes who won't get any shit, take away the one innings of 135 and he's avg under 30.

Stokes also got a ton at Lords mate. 2 centuries in an Ashes series batting at 5 is sound, especially when one of them wins you a match from nowhere.

 

The only batsmen who have impressed have been Smith, Labuschagne, Stokes and Burns for me.

 

We knew this going into the series though. Pretty much everyone said it would be a shootout between the bowlers, and losing Anderson was key.

So in 7 innings outside of them 2 centuries he's average 17.7. Just don't see how you can expect to win the series with the averages. He's been better than most the team and his winning innings will always be remembered.

What a dreadful series Bairstow has had

He's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. I feel like going all Nightcat on him sometimes. Foakes in, please. Isn't Pope also a wicketkeeper? Even giving the gloves to Buttler sees no real drop in WK quality, and allows for a destructive batsman at 7.

He literally won one of the games single handedly, with a knock that you’re ignoring. Averages are averages mate, you can’t just cherry pick certain scores.

 

He doesn’t consistently score heavily but that’s not really his job as an all rounder.
