And I'll leave you to watch his dismissals and how Aus bowled to him in the last series out here and wait for your apology.
You want me to apologise to you because I pointed out that Root placed the shot that went between the slips to which you told me how Australia bowl to Root? Whaaaaatttt?????? lol.

First impressions can be misleading.
Fair enough. Its just a gut feel based prediction. If I am wrong, I am wrong. Soz. But I have not seen anything that makes me think Pope suddenly has a higher ceiling. Maybe you feel Crawley's failures should make me think he has a lower ceiling, but I actually think he has the skills needed to hit those levels. He just has to figure out how to be more judicious.

My response to you was to say it's a shot which I've seen bring him undone out here. Which it plainly does. This is not a difficult concept is it?

A question for our England fans (tagging @Pothas coz he just posted) - We have the other thread about how long Jimmy A can play. Would you be comfortable if he really reaches a situation when he basically cannot bat and cannot play the short ball? There is always going to be the risk of injury and he seems less and less confident as a batsman as days go by. Surely that will be a factor in how long he plays?

If NZ win it's payback for NZ's tour of England in 2015, where the comfortably better Bazball-playing team lose perhaps two days of the two-test series and contrive to only draw 1-1. We've even had the tail-ender caught at deep third man now.
