I was going to ask the question here whether I was the only one who rated Bairstow. Not elite, but when he plays within his capabilities is very valuable in sticking with other batsmen (2013 Ashes over there another example). These are my impressions anyway, without having PayTV

Root as an number 4 would have to be the equal of anyone IMO.
