Explosive Jonny Bairstow can show Twenty20 vision against Windies

London, Sep.22 (ANI): England cricket team coach Andy Flower and one-day skipper Alastair Cook believe that Jonny Bairstow, the son of ex-keeper David Bairstow, has made an explosive impact on the national scene, and could deliver effectively against the two Twenty20 internationals against West Indies tomorrow and on Sunday. It maybe recalled that Bairstow made 41 of 21 balls against India in the final one day match at Cardiff According to the Daily Mail, so exciting was the 21-year-old Yorkshireman, not just in hitting three sixes, but in his confident accumulation of ones and twos, that England must surely find a regular place in all limited overs cricket for Bairstow as they build towards the next World Cup. Bairstow will be 25 and needs to have four years of experience when the next tournament comes round in Australia and New Zealand in 2015 irrespective of whether that raises questions in the short-term over the one-day places of Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara and even Jonathan Trott. In Bairstow's case the future is now. Two of England's other bright batting prospects, James Taylor and Ben Stokes, were handed debuts ahead of the son of the late David but it was the flame-haired Bairstow who set the international scene alight.
