The Anonymous Widower

Fighting the Devil

Jonny Bairstow has effectively won the last one-day international for England at Cardiff tonight on his debut. England were up against it, when he started his innings, but 41 runs from just 21 balls got England home. At the end, Rahul Dravid, the former Indian captain, warmly congratulated him, for what he had done.

Cricket is a warm compact sport and I suspect that all the Indian players knew of Jonny’s father, David Bairstow, who took his own life in 1998.
