Playing 100 Tests Means A Hell Of A Lot, Says England's Jonny Bairstow
World Test Championship: England wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow has said that representing his country in 100 Test matches means a “hell lot for him”. Bairstow is all set to mark his 100th Test appearance in the fifth and final Test match against India in Dharamsala. He is set to become the 17th English cricketer to achieve this illustrious milestone and expressed his gratitude and excitement ahead of the landmark match.
Reflecting on the significance of reaching the century mark in Test cricket, Bairstow shared his anticipation, jokingly suggesting that the team might surprise him with a celebratory barbecue. In 99 Test matches, Bairstow has scored 5,974 runs at an average of 36.42.
Despite his light-hearted remarks, Bairstow emphasised the profound meaning that this milestone holds for him personally, highlighting the honour and privilege of representing England on the international stage. “Playing 100 Tests means a hell of a lot. There might be a surprise barbecue from the team... I am joking,” Bairstow said in the pre-match press conference.
