A right-hand batsman and wicket-keeper he is the son of former Yorkshire and England keeper David Bairstow and the brother of former Derbyshire player Andrew Bairstow. He top scored 95 in England's first innings in the third test against South Africa at Lords in 2012.
In 2008, Bairstow was chosen as the inaugural winner of the Young Wisden Schools Cricketer of the Year award. This was for the form he showed in 2007 for St Peter's School, York when he scored 654 runs at an average of 218.[1] During the 2008 season he played second XI cricket for Yorkshire, in six championship matches he scored 308 runs at an average of 61.60.[2] He was called-up to the first-team squad for the final County Championship match of the season against Sussex but failed to make the starting eleven.[3] At the end of the season he signed a two-year professional contract.[4]
Bairstow began the 2009 season playing second XI cricket but after scoring 202 not out against Leicestershire seconds,[5] he was called-up into the first-team match with Somerset when Michael Vaughan was ruled out through injury.[6] On his first-class debut he scored 28 before being bowled by Michael Munday. In the second innings he top scored with an unbeaten 82. In Somerset's second innings he took over the gloves from an injured Gerard Brophy and took four catches.[7]
Bairstow was a regular in the Yorkshire team in 2010, playing 16 first-class matches and scoring 918 runs. He averaged more than 40 for a second successive season, but could not convert any of his eight fifties into a maiden century.[8] His performances led to selection for the England Performance Programme squad to tour Australia in 2010/11.[9]
He took the gloves for the 2011 season and started well with the bat by scoring his first 100 against Nottinghamshire in May, finishing on 205.[10] He was the only Yorkshire batsman to score over 1000 runs in the season and on the back of his strong performances was called up to the England one day squad at the end of the season.
England
Breaking into the ODI and T20I Teams
Bairstow was a member of the England ODI squad for their match against Ireland in August 2011, however was not picked to play.[11] He did make his debut the following month after he was called up to the final ODI against India. Playing as a specialist batsman, he scored an unbeaten 41 off just 21 balls to help England reach a Duckworth-Lewis adjusted total. His innings included three sixes, the first off just the fifth ball he faced, and he was named Man of the Match.
On 11 October 2011 Bairstow hit a century off 53 balls as England beat a Hyderabad Cricket Association XI - during a warm up for a series against India.[12]
On 23 February 2012 Bairstow was named man of the match in the second T20 of the series between Pakistan Cricket Team and England Cricket Team at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. England won the match.
West Indies 2012
Bairstow was named in the England squad for the first test against the West Indies at Lords after a successful start to the 2012 season, scoring two hundreds for Yorkshire, and an injury to Ravi Bopara had ruled him out of selection.[13][14] On 17 May 2012, Bairstow was selected in the team and made his test debut and was presented his cap by close family friend and former Yorkshire and England cricketer, Geoff Boycott.
Jonny was selected to play for the England Lions in one of the warm up games for this series. He came in as the 7th batsman and scored 50 runs before being caught by Ravi Rampaul. Bairstow also made 5 catches throughout the match.
Bairstow made his debut in the 1st Test against the West Indies at Lord's. Bairstow's first major involvement in the test was when he caught Marlon Samuels for 31 runs. Bairstow came in as the Number 6 batsman in England's 1st innings and made 16 runs off 27 balls hitting 3 fours however he was out from an LBW bowled by Kemar Roach. In the West Indies 2nd innings Bairstow got Kirk Edwards out for 0 runs by running him out after Edwards misjudged a run. Bairstow wasn't really needed in the 2nd innings for England and only had to face 3 balls in which he scored 0 runs (not out). However the 2nd Test wasn't a good one for Bairstow only scoring 4 runs off 17 balls in the 1st innings before being caught by Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Bairstow did slightly better in the 3rd Test with England only being able to bat in Day 4 due to rain on Day 1,2 and 5 with West Indies batting throughout Day 3, so when Bairstow finally got to the crease he needed to put some runs on and he made 18 off 37 balls scoring 3 fours before being bowled by Tino Best. Bairstow finished the series on a positive note (with England taking the series 2-0) and with an overall score of 38 runs. He did not feature in any of the ODI matches however he was selected to play in the Twenty20 match but England won before Bairstow had the chance to bat.
South Africa 2012
Bairstow was not selected for the first two Tests as England went with Ravi Bopara (for the 1st Test) and handed James Taylor (cricketer, born 1990) his debut in the 2nd Test. However he was recalled to the side for the 3rd Test and he made 95 in the first innings against South Africa before being bowled by an excellent ball from fast bowler Morne Morkel. He left the field to a standing ovation. In the second innings England were set 345 to win, Bairstow came in with England struggling (Jonathan Trott was the only batsman to get into double figures) and he played some good shots but finally was bowled by Imran Tahir for 54 runs, this was not enough to help England to victory and South Africa won the match and won the series 2-0. He finished the Test series with 149 runs (the 5th highest scoring England player) having only played 1 Test. Bairstow was then dropped for the first ODI in favour of Ravi Bopara who had an excellent ODI series against Australia. He returned to the ODI side for the 5th ODI in the series and he scored 29 runs however South Africa won this match to draw the ODI series 2-2. Bairstow was selected to play in the 1st Twenty20 game, he came in as the 5th batsman and scored 15 before being caught.
2012 ICC World Twenty20
Bairstow was selected in the England squad for the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka. Jonny played in England's first group game against Afghanistan, he came in as the number 6 batsman and made 12 runs from 10 balls before being caught to help England to get 196 runs for 5 wickets. In Afghanistan's chase he caught Asghar Stanikzai off a Stuart Broad bowl to assist England to a 116 run victory. The second and final group game was against India, England won the toss and sent India in to bat. Bairstow caught Virat Kohli from a Graeme Swann bowl when Kohli was on 40, however India got to 170 runs in 20 overs setting England a target of 171. England's batting order failed and Jonny was bowled by Piyush Chawla for 1 run, England only made 80 runs (which was their worst for a Twenty20 International) and lost the match by 90 runs. They still qualified for the Super 8 stage. The first match in the Super 8's was against eventual champions West Indies, Bairstow took an important wicket when he caught opener Johnson Charles on 84 off of a Jade Dernbach bowl, his form with the bat wasn't impressive as he made 18 off 29 balls before being caught en route to an England loss. He made amends against New Zealand as he caught opener Rob Nicol for 11 runs and then helped run out James Franklin who was on 50 and looking to really threaten England, Bairstow was needed in the 18th over and made 5 runs in 2 balls to help England to a 6 wicket win. Jonny was selected as the wicket keeper against Sri Lanka, he caught Kumar Sangakkara on 13 but his performance as the number 3 batter was poor as he only made 2 runs on the way to a 19 runs loss to Sri Lanka. This loss meant England were knocked out of the World Twenty20 and the West Indies took England's title as World Twenty20 champions.
India 2012-13
Bairstow was included in the squad which traveled to India. He was selected to play against Mumbai A in one of the warm up games for the 4 Test series. Jonny came in as the 6th batsman and scored a remarkable 118 before being caught. He could not bat in the 2nd innings as England had won the game before he got the chance. He also caught out 3 Mumbai players during their 1st innings.
Bairstow was selected to play in the 2nd Test after Ian Bell went home for the birth of his child. His first involvement of the test series came when he caught Zaheer Khan (India's last wicket) from a Graeme Swann bowl. He came in to bat as the 5th batsmen however he only managed 9 runs before he was caught by Gautam Gambhir, however Bairstow's dismissal was full of controversy as the ball hit the catcher's helmet first. Jonny continued to do well in the fielding department by catching India's dangerman Cheteshwar Pujara (who had scored a double century in the 1st Test and a century in the 1st Innings of the 2nd Test) for 6 runs which put England on the front foot in the 2nd Test. He also caught Yuvraj Singh off a Monty Panesar bowl. However he was dropped for the 3rd Test as Ian Bell returned to the tour following the birth of his child. He was selected for the T20 and ODI teams however he withdrew from both squads due to the illness of a family member, he was replaced by fellow Yorkshire man Joe Root on both occasions.
New Zealand 2013
Jonny was selected to be part of the Test, ODI and T20 squads for the 2013 Tour to New Zealand. He was selected to play in the first warm up Twenty20 match against New Zealand XI, he wasn't required to bat in England's 186 run innings, in the field however he caught Andrew Ellis. Jonny played in the second warm up T20 match as well. He only made 2 runs in England's 3 wicket loss but he did catch Anton Devcich on 33.
Bairstow was chosen to play in the first Twenty20 match of the series, he lost the wicket-keeping spot to Jos Buttler after Buttler put in a couple of great performances in the warm ups, this meant Bairstow would be used as specialist batsman coming in at number 5. He helped England to a 40 run win in the 1st T20I by smashing 38 runs in 22 balls before being caught by Martin Guptill, he also caught New Zealand danger man Ross Taylor on 13. In the 2nd T20I he caught Ross Taylor on 4 runs and also Colin Munro on 7 runs, he batted at number 4 but only made 8 runs before being caught by Mitchell McClenaghan in England's 55 run loss. Bairstow also played in the 3rd T20I, whilst fielding he caught both dangermen Brendon McCullum and Ross Taylor before they could post a decent score, he was not required to bat in England's successful run chase and finished up a 2-1 T20 series winner. Jonny was the 12th man in England's 3 wicket loss in the 1st ODI. He was once again 12th man for the 2nd ODI however Bairstow came on as a substitute and managed to catch Grant Elliott when the batsman was on 23. For the 3rd ODI Jonny was selected as the 12th man, he did manage to get on the field but didn't have enough time to contribute to the fielding efforts.
Jonny was selected as the 12th man in the 1st Test and the 2nd Test against New Zealand. He was selected as the number 6 batsman for the 3rd Test as Kevin Pietersen was injured so Joe Root moved up to number 5. Bairstow was out to an LBW for 3 runs after a Trent Boult bowl. His 2nd innings wasn't much better as the struggling England side needed him to bat for a while but he only conjured up 6 runs before edging the ball to Ross Taylor.
Not long after the series in New Zealand the Black Caps travelled to tour round England. Bairstow was selected in the ODI squad for the New Zealand's 2013 tour of England. His first involvement in the tour was to play for the England Lions against New Zealand in a four-day warm up match, where he batted at number 6 and got 68 runs before getting out to an LBW. He was selected for the 1st Test at number 6 die to the absence of Kevin Pietersen.
