What sort of an excuse is that! If he can play golf....To be fair to Bairstow he did have a broken leg at the time

I appreciate the 100 isn't for everyone, and its certainly not my preferred format, but there are less exciting things to watch on a Friday night than Jos Buttler smashing it out of the ground for an hour.I don't mind T20 though Test's are the best form of cricket - Limited over's internationals are good - though I hardly watch any domestic limited over cricket the 100 is just shambolic & a vehicle to get both mens & womens game on at the same venue on the same night - increase exposure / participation of womens game - MCC / Sky / BBC carbuncle of a game.
I'm (fairly) sure you are being sarky but he actually managed to break his leg playing golf - Not sure how much alcohol has to be involved for this to happen.What sort of an excuse is that! If he can play golf....
I did see him at Headingley last year. Stayed at the hotel as was going to a gig in Leeds. It was a boiling hot day, Headingley was far from busy, but we couldn't sit in the seats in front of our hotel room without a match ticket (the door was locked and the windows wouldn't even open) so we sat and watched him bat in the boiling heat in front of a pain of glass until we had enough and literally closed the curtains.I'm (fairly) sure you are being sarky but he actually managed to break his leg playing golf - Not sure how much alcohol has to be involved for this to happen.
He certainly hasn't looked that good out at the current IPL.
He played a couple of games for Yorkshire at start of last season but that was just to try and prove his fitness for the ashes (didn't do a lot in Yorks games - 1 good catch, and he looked pondorous in warm ups as if his leg was still giving hi problems.
Couldn't you just walk into a normal seat as there is no security checking tickets once through turnstile (which you got through to get to hotel)I did see him at Headingley last year.
