Jonny Bairstow won the Man of the Award for his brilliant double hundreds in the Edgbaston Test. Bairstow’s knock played a big part in stabilizing England’s 1st innings as the rest of the batters failed miserably in that innings.

At the presentation ceremony, Bairstow said that the last month has been fantastic for him, and he loves putting the pressure back on the opposition. He also expressed the delight of having a full crowd on the final day of the test match.

“It’s great fun at the moment, this last month has been fantastic, we can see the smile on the boys’ faces. I’ve stripped it all back to the basics, I’m not a big fan of bubbles and sitting in rooms playing computer games, but it’s great to be back, day five sold out in 90 minutes,” Jonny Bairstow said.

“It’s about having the enjoyment factor, not afraid of failing, putting the pressure back on the opposition, we’re going to lose games along the way, but the positive brand is fun to play.”

Jonny Bairstow has been terrific in 2022 so far. He has played eight matches this year, where he has scored 1066 runs at an average of 82.00, courtesy of six centuries and a solitary half-century.
