Jonny Bairstow needs to be given time to develop, feels http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Paul-Vaughan-c76145 – Cricket News Update
England’s former Captain, Michael Vaughan, feels that the Poms should not be too dependent on the team’s star in the making, Jonny Bairstow, and that the wicket-keeper batsman should be given more time to develop.
Vaughan lauded Bairstow for his recent stellar cameo against the Indians during http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s home series, and then earning an imposing ground on the English domestic circle.
However, the former all-rounder also reminded that Bairstow’s international debut came against an injury-stricken Indian side, which will be looking to make a fierce comeback on its home-turf.
“We don’t want to get too excited just yet. Jonny has had one good innings against an Indian side who were without a lot of their stars on a damp night in Cardiff. He handled it brilliantly and I think he is going to go a long way in the game,” said Vaughan.
Bairstow premiered in his first ever One Day International (ODI) performance in Cardiff during the final fixture between England and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 from the 5-match series.
Although the match concluded in England’s favour, the lucky debutant managed to earn the Man of the Match title, which came through his 41 off 21 balls, including a single boundary and 3 sixes.
For now, Bairstow may have another chance to deliver his might with the bat, after being included on England’s 17-man squad, which is due to face the Indians in the upcoming 5-match ODI series, on October 14, 2011.
As for Vaughan’s comments, the 36-year-old said that the team should not rest its reliance on Bairstow, since the youngster still has much ground to cover in the international arena.
“He is only a young lad and he has got areas of his game he can improve upon. He has just got to keep enjoying his cricket and I’m sure if he does that he will be successful,” stated Vaughan.
Apart from premiering an exceptional International career with the English national squad, Bairstow recently won the Cricket Writers Club, Young Cricketer of the Year.
The young gun has played 46 first-class matches for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867, with a total score of 2889 runs at an average of 45.14.
