Re: Bairstow v Foulkes

I don’t understand that comment that people were ‘told’ not to criticise, maybe my memory is wrong or it’s a matter of interpretation . Saying you trust the people running a team and the decisions they make isn’t the same as telling people they ‘can’t’ criticise which would be futile anyway, because people criticise loads. If you mean for example someone like me has said this, I’d just say my response is that the criticism of players, team, decisions and approach has generally been more negative than positive. That’s my view anyway.

I don’t see why people should feel so intimidated anyway. There’s always a bit of flak, I reckon we’ve all had some ‘incoming’.
