"Every single England fan"??? Seriously mate, how do you come up with this stuff? How is it possible that you can invent a consensus of opinion that is the exact opposite of the truth and palm it off as a reality with a straight face?
Show me 1 single post here, just 1, from the last 6 months supporting Zac Crawleys selection.
Yeah the post was nonsense, but I actually can see why Crawley is picked and it doesn't make me as angry that he is picked as it should.
First and foremost if I never saw Zak Crawley bat again I would be perfectly content, but
I can't be arsed to statsguru it, but since Strauss retired we've had about a zillion openers, Cook, who was strauss' partner is by far the best, but even then he wasn't prime cook after that. So our openers, apart from a fading little chef, have been hideous, a virulent carbuncle on anything we have tried to achieve for a decade or so now.
Sibley and Burns actually weren't as appalling as most, but hardly fit into the new way. So Crawley is generally no worse than most of them, the last discarded one averaged 5 less, and he does advance the game which seems to be the main theme of the new management, 90% of the time he advances it by getting out early so real bats can come in, but ho-hum.
So I get his selection, because it's hard to see who is better. Yet when YJB comes back, if he's still in the side I might cry. I actually think we may just go Root to open, he's doing little recently so why not?
