they drop difficult tours like marcus harris drops cricket balls

Whatever it takes!!!
Nah, I am not gonna call him a generational talent like others have done with others. I simply happen to think given how bad most of the other options are for England there is enough to work with if they back Crawley (and Lawrence).

Yeah I don't think you think he's a great batsman; I think you're in love with him. Those big private school eyes and messy blonde hair just get you every time.

We saw the Fox commentary team getting behind australia touring lesser countries, and there’s three or four such tours scheduled in the next 12-18 months.
Hopefully they go. Sucks for the players having to tour those joints, but it is part of their very well paying jobs tbf and they can just stay in the hotel if they (understandably) want to

Basically it's just this vid
I mean it seems like absolutely nothing to me, but I'm sure you'll see it as further proof of endemic racism in English cricket. I've never heard it as a long-standing thing. I can see why he didn't like batting all over the place, but Stokes has had similar problems

Deep joy. Crawley gets a few runs so he can have another 6-8 tests doing bugger all. The wheel keeps turning.

If he's going to keep his place for a while doesn't that mean the wheel isn't turning?

Cook got on the defensive real quick, couldn't take it

Basically emblematic of a huge problem in English cricket, ie. They're grown men who think their captain is there to emotionally prop them when they don't have the fortitude to look after themselves. Cook is rightfully baffled and it's no wonder Moeen largely failed to impres in his international career if that was his attitude
Edit: not just a cricket thing, an emerging cancer among a generation that had has everything handed to them on a silver platter and think everything should be about them and they should get what they want all the time

It was kind of weird of Moeen to start criticising Cook's captaincy while Cook was right there haha, but yeah Cook's reaction was dire.

Well true. I meant him getting back in then getting dropped soon though.
Then to return as they see something in him I don't.
