Only 3 first class centuries - seems like he has been spotted early
I hope he isn't Palarse though!
Millwall through and through.
Zak has a soft spot for Charlton.
I claim all the credit.
Would be interested to know more about the journey from Bemondsey to Bromley to Tonbridge School. And what you mean by what dad has achieved in 40 years - it certainly seems to have inspired his son1 -
Nice comments re dad on the post day comments after the interview with him from Rob Key - or BFK as they call him, apparentlyblackpool72 said:

Great innings our lad !
Kent's loss this season is England's gain.
To say he is proud is an understatement.2 -

But if we ever meet I will be pleased to explain all2 -
Great innings Zak, may that be the first of many centuries for you

@blackpool@blackpool72 please tell his Dad, despite being Wall, he did a damn fine job raising that lad 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻2 -
I'm the one who deserves all the thanks for dragging his old man down the valley when we were in our teens.KBslittlesis said:

I couldn't convert Terry into being an Addick but Zak saw the light
Never has a promote been more deserved.7 -
I hope buttler gets to 100 tomorrow but it’s buttler, he will be back in dressing room by 11:070

Suffice to say he made a lot of money as a self made trader on the London International Financial Futures & Options Exchange (LIFFE) having previously worked for a carpet company. My first wife was a pit boss on LIFFE back when he was a major influence on the floor. All trading is now screen based trading as "open outcry" disappeared on the LIFFE floor over 20 years ago and his company trades under Crawley Futures.PrincessFiona said:Addick Addict said:

As @blackpool72 says he knows him well whereas I only know him by reputation and heresay.

Buttler has shown some grit and determination in the series. Not been particularly good behind the stumps but showed some bottle to go out there and get some runs. Fantastic knock by Crawley, without meaning to take too much away there was some terrible bowling. Still done brilliantly to get his ton, looked like he's been in the team for years.0

Well done Zak!
Was out most of the day and didn't check the score after 12:45, so great to watch him get such a great score "unspoilt"3 -
The official Charlton account congratulated him on twitter, so he'd better not be Millwall

Trying to think who Crawley reminds me of. How many right-handers are that strong off the legs?0

He's pretty strong in all areas really.Leuth said:Trying to think who Crawley reminds me of. How many right-handers are that strong off the legs?
He slightly reminds me of Trescothick, a lefty but someone who had presence at the crease

I thought about Trescothick and Hayden but there has to be a right-hander who was tall and murderous through midwicket0

KP?Leuth said:I thought about Trescothick and Hayden but there has to be a right-hander who was tall and murderous through midwicket0 -
Crawley is more languid and less insane than KP though. Just a very classy and dominant opening batsman with powerful attacking shots. Gordon Greenidge?0

I mean, when Alec Stewart was an opener he played a bit like Crawley, perhaps0

On & off this morning due to showers. More showers due on Monday & even more rain Tuesday. I'm predicting a draw.
Should have started on Thursday.1 - Sponsored links:

slightly scary moment on 99, but Jos got his 2nd test 1003

That's what the review system is for, and why it's so important that other players don't burn them on desperate LBW reviewssuzisausage said:slightly scary moment on 99, but Jos got his 2nd test 1001 -
It would have been a lovely touch if they'd managed to spell his name rightkillerandflash said:The official Charlton account congratulated him on twitter, so he'd better not be Millwall3 -
Double ton for Zak4
-
Am so impressed with this young player. He has scored more in every test innings he has played. Everyone seems impressed with his character, attitude and dedication. And paying for himself to go to India to learn to play spin better and then Australia against fast bowling. And how quickly he learns. Me thinks we won;t get to see him play for Kent much; but our loss is England's gain
Well played Zac! I want to see him go passed his mentor Rob Key's best score for England5 -
How many players have scored a double century as their first Test century, does anyone know?
And what's the highest maiden century score?0 -
Given we only need to draw to win the series I hope they let him bat on as long as possible (cue him being bowled next ball).0

I was wondering that. Rob Key just admitted this is a better bowling attack tooNorth Lower Neil said:How many players have scored a double century as their first Test century, does anyone know?

I can only find that 3 have converted their first into a triple - that's pretty good going!Four Indian Batsmen who converted their maiden Ton into a Double Century

Loved them all celebrating him passing 221 and Rob Key saying the Pakistan players will all be asking who is Rob Key!0 -

I think he's the 7th English player to do it. Rob Key was the last, and before that GowerNorth Lower Neil said:How many players have scored a double century as their first Test century, does anyone know?
