Has Crawley got some compromising pictures of someone?

Crawley

I think that makes [MENTION=1413]Mackenzie[/MENTION] our sweepstake winner...

 

[The Wizard]

Crawley is just one of them players who will score a big ton every now and again when he’s fluent but 90% of the time he looks like a deer in the headlights, at the moment he reminds me of Jason Roy in the shorter format, needs a break for his own good.

 

[Mackenzie]

Ohhh two out

 

[CHAPPERS]

That didn’t even look out on review. Was surprised they bothered with it.

 

[The Wizard]

Ohhh two out

Two out you say?

Yep, Pope gone. England -130/2

Embarrassing.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Two out you say?

Yep, Pope gone. England -130/2

Embarrassing.

If only.......

 

[A1X]

Root gone now

England haven’t won a test in which Root hasn’t made a half century for two years, and they only won that because Woakes and Buttler produced a great escape at Old Trafford against Pakistan

Two out you say?

Embarrassing.

Playing across the line to a straight one from a spinner, last ball before lunch. It beggars belief, it really does.

81-4.

Woeful.

 

[Soton Seagull]

86 - 5 is even worse!

Doomed. May as well switch to following the Sussex match.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Indecision is my word of the day.

 

[Badger]

I'm loving this England Test Team revolu... oh

 

[Soton Seagull]

86 - 6. The classic life certainties: death, taxes and England collapses!

 

[Pavilionaire]

I dread to think of the lost revenue from the sold-out Saturday crowd buying food, drink and merch that will now probably not happen.

If Marco Bielsa managed a cricket team this England test side would be it, be interesting to see how things go if there is a couple of performances like this because this is absolutely dire. Seems there is no in between, it’s either going to be barnstorming wins or total capitulation.

This......still, apparently its " entertaining " ..

18 to avoid an innings defeat, ooh the tension...

 

[joydivisionovengloves]

Great fast bowling from the South Africans , but until we have a decent opening pair of batsmen we'll struggle. Lame. Bowling short like we did ...WTF ? Rubbish
