meanderson93 Posted July 20, 2023 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
Wanderlust Posted July 20, 2023 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
Casino Posted July 20, 2023 Author Posted July 20, 2023 would it be fair to point out crawley had as many supporters on the wways selection committee as bairstow? Quote

globaldiver Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Wonder if the Aussies regret leaving out Murphy? 🤣😂 Quote
Casino Posted July 20, 2023 Author Posted July 20, 2023 fwiw, id be happy to reel it in a bit and make sure we get to 450 and thats the first time this summer ive not been 100% belt the fucker Quote
globaldiver Posted July 20, 2023 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
Casino Posted July 20, 2023 Author 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
Wanderlust Posted July 20, 2023 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

Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Well done fella. Would have taken this position at the start of the day. Quote
jmjhb Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Brook, Stokes, Bairstow and Woakes should just smash it now Quote

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

True, I'm thinking he's benefiting from the total trust by his captain and coach. Relax and focus on the game. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Hmm, not sure our bowlers will be too disappointed to see a ball do that. Well done Joe. Stokes in now! Quote
Marc505 Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Been a fantastic afternoon to watch! That wicket seems to be going a bit wacky now. Quote
globaldiver Posted July 20, 2023 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. Quote
