JONNY BAIRSTOW is confident he can repeat his blistering 2022 batting form against the Aussies despite fearing he might never walk again.

But as brightly as the sun shone on him and his flashing blade in the summer, it all took a much darker turn following a freak golfing accident that left him with a broken leg and dislocated ankle.
Ten months on and the 33-year-old is fit, refreshed and back in the England fold firstly for the Test against Ireland and then for a seventh tilt at the Aussies in his 89-cap career.
