Oh. You think Crawley is the reason we're 2-0 down. Fair enough. I don't agree.blackpool72 said:
You are a very strange manChizz said:
Crawley is half-way through his likely innings in the series and he has a better average than Warner and Labouschagne, both of whom have more experience in Ashes series in England than he does. He has the highest strike rate of anyone who has played more than one innings in the series so far. Only one player - Joe Root - has taken more catches without the gloves, on either side. He's outperforming his career batting average.Cafc43v3r said:
Don't get me wrong I would have dropped Crawley ages ago but...Addick Addict said:
That is one innings and admittedly that is more than his Test average of 28.42. Crawley has the lowest Test average at 26.49 for any batsman opening 50 plus times from any country in the history of the game. That is an achievement in itself.Cafc43v3r said:

Edit - since I last ran that query, Crawley has, actually moved up to 93rd of the 98 batsmen who have opened that many times. Below him are Powell (WI), Ganga (WI), Kayes (Bang), Smith (WI) and Omar (Bang). He is bottom of the 17 English batsmen but, by definition, most England openers get dropped, with such a low average, a long time before they reach 50 innings.
I would never have picked Duckett to open either. There isn't a Matthew Hadden or Marcus Trescothick type opener scoring buddle of runs amd England, currently, wouldn't pick an Atherton type opener even if there was one.
Who do we pick that's significantly better than Crawley and how long do we give them?
Crawley isn't the reason we're 2-0 down in the series.
I never said that and I don't think anyone else has either.1 -

Have a lol.1 -
Need a big score from Root after a strangely unsatisfactory series so far. In brilliant touch at Edgbaston but left high and dry by the ridiculous declaration before a brainless dismissal in the second knock when beautifully set then looked like he’d not held a cricket bat before at Lord’s.0

Bat bat bat and bat some more

England will, at some point this morning, be begging for Moeen Ali to score a Test fifty. That's what it will come to; that's what our illusory batting aptitude has led us to. And you know what? He'll be out for about 8. I mean, unless...0

Feels like we really need Root to bat long.0

Pathetic effort this morning. Ball isn't even doing anything1

This is a disgrace0

brain dead cricket from bairstow again, back to the bairstow that will play a sweep shot on the 2nd ball of the match.0

As predicted, those "shrinking violet" Aussies are visibly wilting under Bazball, not to mention all that abuse they've been getting from that vociferous and intimidatory Headingley crowd. Robinson said it, Crawley said it, Bairstow's defenders said it. Those Aussies have never faced anything like it before. Or likely to again.4

Keep swinging the bat at deliveries that should be left.
Giving the slip fielders catching practice0 -
I don't understand the logic chasing a wide one from a bowler who's stock delivery is a swinging ball at the beginning of the day.blackpool72 said:Keep swinging the bat at deliveries that should be left.

Glad Bairstow made up for those dropped catches with a massive score of 12.
On his home ground.
In good conditions.1 -
desperate for a moeen masterclass here.1
