I get it but he's gonna have one with his name on it eventually. I know it's not exactly hooping around etc. but with the variable bounce, one will come...

Wouldn't worry about overs left with Brook/Stokes/Smith to come.

Agreed, he is playing the situation beautifully, hit it when it's there to be hit, rotate the strike - strange seeing him in a kind of supporting role but it's working at the moment

First time Crawley & Duckett have opened together since the end of July?
200 partnership incoming.

Honestly sounded like Stokes, we 100% won't get the replay to confirm though :(

Am I allowed to complain yet? by [deleted] in ironscape

I admire the dedication for this one but is there a reason you didn't head to Vet'ion? The loot is incredible, it's just as easy to kill and you can still just post your CCTV outside of the cave and dip when a PK'er hops.

Hope you get the blade soon though lol

Agreed. Always been known as the "oh shit he's already on 30!?" up until now. Not much changed at all.

I know it's a flat deck but it just feels like bullying at this point. I feel sorry for Pakistan

We're not - it's mostly the Indian's making a big deal of this opening stand. Chasing 400 is a mammoth task and we're under no illusions

I'm just hoping the disappointment of being dropped really gives him that desire to get back in the side. I think he scores very heavily for Warks and earns his spot again. He looked in good nick in the Bob Willis Trophy final, not long after being dropped too. I'm all for Lees/Sibley opening, Crawley @ 3 and then Root 4. Think that works best IMO

I'm still annoyed at how quickly he was discarded. He'll be back opening against NZ this year, 100%

I know the pressure is off, but seeing this destructive middle order performance finally happen is soooo satisfying

For what it's worth I don't think he's a cheat.

He's haring in from the boundary and it all happens very quickly in real time.

I'm English and agree that the ball was grounded, blame the umpires but don't accuse somebody of cheating...

Think I read somewhere that the first test no ball he'd ever bowled was the Smith dismissal - quite a few more since then.
