Where’s Bairstow going to bat?

Bairstow will bat at 7

Harsh on Foakes , much better W/K

That’s too low for him if he plays anywhere near as well as he did last summer - I’d move him up at least one place and have Stokes at seven.

Bairstow wants to bat at 7, I think. He's also so destructive there.

Pope, Root, Brook, Stokes, Bairstow. One of the best middle orders in modern times. Disgustingly good.
