He scored a 100 coming into bat after Lees had scored one, on a pitch never likely to give a result vs Notts, and which saw a top individual score of 240.
He scored a 100 on a pitch that a number 11 got a 50, a number 10 got 44*, a number 8 got a hundred, and a number 7 got 99.... another dead draw pitch.
Andrew Gale got 148 up the order when he scored vs Notts.
The 82 vs Hampshire you mention came in a game that Bairstow and Pujara got 300 runs between them.... and both were only dismissed once.
If you are saying a line up with Bairstow and Pujara in it, two players that have attracted votes as 2016 best test player on the relevant thread, supported by a former England test opener, and in a line up with 5 or 6 test capped players is "Yorkshire at their most depleted", when Christ alive, who was picking the team that day?
After that his form disappeared, and he is now on a 15 game plus run of utter dross.
