    Two deliveries that sum up Crawley's England career.

    Crawley once again doing the hard work and getting a start and getting out driving a ball that wasn’t there

    Crawley playing well and then nicks one.

    Copy and paste 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Crawley is soooooooo frustrating. I sense a collapse coming.

    Those two deliveries were peak Crawley - thrashes one through point and then nicks off.

    Following that wicket:

    England 1.42
    Australia 3.45
    Draw 260.00

    Is Oohaah frantically trying to lock in his gain or letting it run?

    I've backed Australia at 3/1, we'll be 5 down by lunch.

    Still ahead of the game, as long as we dont lose a wicket before the 100 comes up. 

    Need a partnership. Get to 150 only 3 down then we should win

    Felt like a typical Crawley knock gets a good start and then nicks off and doesn't convert.

    As much as I agree, I don’t want to be seven down with 75 still to get…

    We need that 50 partnership you mention sooner rather than later.

    That old ball with the picked up seam, anyone checking the Ausies pockets,...very strange that damage 🤔

    With the Aussies Course and Distance record for the dark arts that is a fair question.

    Crawley does seem to be going through a run of "one mistake, gets out" too, whereas other England players today have had edges fall short or have missed the ball. Partially it's because he usually nicks when driving hard.

    But I have a feeling Stokes wont save us this time. Someone else will have to step up.

    Can't keep relying on Stokes, has to be a Bairstow day

    A certain irony if Bairstow steps up and clatters England to victory. These things happen.

    He did have the one that flew just above gully but it did so for the very reason you've suggested - that he goes so hard at it. He also rarely employs the safer check drive for that reason. That strength of having such a big reach is also his weakness because he feels that he can drive "on the up" to balls that others cannot reach and it is that one that is even too short to him that gets him out.
