If Crawley gets a ton here, is it the worst century of all-time?

Even though it's a really important one.

Aussies could do with a stiff drink after that hour. Crawley likely to get out stupidly in the 90's though....

He gets some luck but he can also play some glorious shots. You try watching a Labuschagne ton from the wrong perspective....

Yeah this session has just broken me in that regard, fast bowling captains need to never be a thing ever again. It's clearly scrambled his mind in the field too.
What's even worse is that in the other factors such as conduct, player support, etc. he's genuinely very good. It's just that his weaknesses in the most important part of captaincy has been brutually exposed by the better teams.

Really needs a good tactical VC or coach to lean on.

Neser for the 5th test? Surely, since Hazlewood can't stop the scoring

Boland has been tried and failed twice.
Murphy has been tried, probably they will put him back for Green

It doesn't seem like he's getting much help from the backroom staff either. Very little thought or adaptability put into these plans.
