meanderson93 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Some knock from Crawley this, and to be fair to him it's felt like it's been coming. Every time this series he's just looked like getting settled he's hung one out there, but kept his head screwed on through his 50 today and then not looked back. Really impressive, and I'm happy for him, hope it's the start of the sort of form he's threatened to put together before. Need to turn the screw now though into the evening, big day tomorrow and feels like our only chance of getting a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Loving this partnership but if I go to the kitchen for a brew and a bite, will it jinx it? Daren't leave my seat ATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted July 20, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2023 would it be fair to point out crawley had as many supporters on the wways selection committee as bairstow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globaldiver Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Cameron Green, their “once in a generation” all rounder has leaked the fewest/over, but they have hardly bowled him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted July 20, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2023 ok zak, crack on seriously, have there been many better examples of identifying the talent, and being patient with it well done to the selectors for not going with the breeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Excellent batting but on this pitch and the weather forecast I'm already worrying about how we'll bowl the Aussies out. I need to limit the number of things I'm worrying about to less than 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability to play a blinder for a few hours was already clear - hopefully he can start to offer a contribution more often on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I'm thinking he's benefiting from the total trust by his captain and coach. Relax and focus on the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globaldiver Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Losing more overs tonight, that won’t be made up. I understand the “well you’re getting great entertainment “, blah, but it’s blatantly cheating the customer. England are as culpable and might regret the overs lost yesterday.
