Brilliance of Tim Bresnan offers England chance to rest Stuart Broad

England cricketers enjoy salaries and lifestyles beyond the reach of many of those who follow them, but they certainly work hard for their money.

Bairstow is a player of much promise and England believe he has the talent and attitude to succeed in Tests. The 22-year-old might prove his supporters right, but first he must work hard to sharpen his technique against the short ball.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul's batting technique is the antithesis of elegance. Shuffling across the crease to turn the ball into the leg side, Chanderpaul's workmanlike style frustrates bowlers and spectators alike. Yet Test cricket will miss him when he is gone.
