He totaled 41 tackles and three interceptions while starting all but four of the 13 games he played last season. Amid the drama of the tight finish, and the praise for Ben Stokes all-round performance, Jonny Bairstows achievements in Chittagong perhaps didnt gain the plaudits they deserved.Not only did Bairstow produce arguably the most polished display of keeping in his Test career to date, but he set a new record for the most runs in a calendar year by a Test wicketkeeper.While it is true that modern schedules provide more games, and, therefore, greater opportunity to set such records, Bairstow surpassed the mark set by Andy Flower (1,045 runs in 16 innings, set in 2000) in his 18th innings. The previous highest aggregate of runs in a calendar year by an England wicketkeeper was 777 by Matt Prior in 2012. With a maximum of six more Tests to play this year, Bairstow now has Michael Vaughans record of the most Test runs in a calendar year (1,481 in 26 innings in 2002) by an England batsman within his sight. With 1,091, he is already the highest run-scorer in Test cricket this year, and the only man to reach 1,000.But, we have come to expect high standards of his batting. We have become accustomed to him rescuing England from poor starts, and accustomed to him scoring quickly. Only Joe Root, of the top 10 Test run-scorers this year, has scored at a faster rate than Bairstows 61.08 runs per 100 balls.It is his keeping that has remained the debating point.It was excellent in Chittagong. Excellent standing up to the spinners, anyway. While there were a couple of fumbles against the seamers - and one drop down the leg side - in the brutally hot and humid conditions, he put in a performance of which any keeper would be proud. Dealing with the unpredictable spin and bounce of the wicket expertly, he rated it probably his best Test yet with the gloves.You do not have to search far to see the source of the improvement. While Englands net session in Dhaka was winding down, with various team-mates playing football or heading for the shade, Bairstow opted for another half-hour of practise. With Steve Rhodes firing the balls at him, Bairstow continued to grow accustomed, not just to the movements required of a keeper in these conditions, but to concentrating in the heat and humidity. He confesses that, left to his own devices, he would prefer not to wear a helmet when keeping, but accepts the ECBs insistence that he must.It really is just a case of working hard, he said. I know how quickly things can change. I know how hard I have to work to keep improving.It went welll in Chittagong, but there might be two chances I put down in the next game.ddddddddddddThe challenge is heightened in the subcontinent, with the amount it can turn and how close we stand behind the stumps. Youre in the game every single ball. Some balls turn and some balls skid on. If youre not 100% on it and enjoying it, its going to get tougher and tougher.Success tastes all the sweeter for Bairstow as he has endured plenty of tough times along the way. Being dropped after the 2013-14 Ashes clearly hurt greatly, and he admits the desire to prove his critics wrong has been a strong motivational force.You go back, maybe two years, and there are people writing you off to never play Test cricket again, he said. There were a few mumbles floating around that I wasnt good enough.I was out of the side for about 18 months, and Im delighted with how Ive come back. I worked hard at Yorkshire during those months. It was kind of a good thing I went away. I learned about my keeping, worked on my batting, and Ive come back stronger for that.It is good to come back and prove a few people wrong with the way that Ive been playing. Its a pretty amazing feeling.Having had that period out of international cricket, Bairstow is understandably keen to play every game he can. So, while he understands the talk of rest and rotation, he certainly wont be volunteering for a break.I want to play every game I can, he said. Having missed out for 18 months after the Ashes, gone away, worked on my game and earned my place back, I want to play as many games as you can for England in every single format going. Its only natural. If Im rested, so be it, but Im pleased with the way Im catching the ball and batting.He is not complaining at the relative lack of attention given to his performance in Chittagong, either. Knowing that, all too often, keepers only attract comments when they struggle, he is wise enough to interpret the lack of coverage of his performance as a compliment.If Im going unnoticed and keeping well, thats the best way forward me, he said. But I was very pleased to get some positive comments.I hadnt really thought about the record, but Im absolutely delighted to now hold it. Its great to be talked about in such great company.These are early days in Englands toughest of tours. But it has been a quietly impressive start from Bairstow. ' ' '
