FenlandRunner May 2016 5:33pm, 21 May 2016 8,767 posts	0 FenlandRunner The man of the match has gone to Jonny Bairstow for his 140 and nine catches. Tough call between him and Jimmy Anderson but the decision has clearly gone down well with the locals.

postieboy May 2016 6:43pm, 21 May 2016 3,400 posts	0 postieboy A batsman should always get MoM in conditions very favourable for swing and seam bowling. Bairstow is making the wicketkeeper position his own now.
Chrisity May 2016 9:42pm, 21 May 2016 14,568 posts	0 Chrisity But they rarely give it to bowlers on batting wickets, i suspect the stats for man of the match are 70% + for the batsmen. See how many bowlers (not all-rounders )you can find near the top of this list stats.espncricinfo.com
Crash Hamster May 2016 3:58pm, 22 May 2016 739 posts	0 Crash Hamster 162.4 overs, plus 4 overs for innings changes..? Under 2 days! England bowled well in helpful conditions and Sri Lanka didn't get past Hales and Bairstow in total. Their tail looks poor and their seamers look average. Herath is Eddie Hemmings for the 21st century, surely? 3-0 if the weather holds..? Lord's in June may be the only fly in the ointment.
