BE DURY — NOT DREARY!

A REASON to be cheerful, as Ian Dury (left) sang — Jos Buttler! Ed Smith and Co had to fend off criticism after selecting him but he has shown his worth. The other thing to consider is that after Jonny Bairstow’s injury he also had to keep wicket and we can only assume he will retain the gloves at the Ageas Bowl. I’m sure everyone agrees — this was an inspired pick.
