Just a quick word on Atkinson’s batting, granted he’s a number 8 or 9 and sometimes comes in with the brief being to score quickly with no regard for his wicket like the first Test, but that was the first innings he’s had of any sort of substance since his ton, I think it’s his second highest Test score now. Important little knock with England in the position they were in

Pretty impressive in its own right that you're expecting innings of substance on a regular basis from a guy in his eighth Test and selected primarily as a bowler. Speaks volumes of his potential, a good situation to be in for a young cricketer.

Good knock from Atkinson but it felt like him and Smith didn't need to go into all out attack mode when they were cruising at a decent pace.

I mean, he'd have been disappointed with 3 single figure scores and a 14 since then!

I read his father used to be a carpet seller? Wonder how many parvenus would deprive their kids of their inheritance/a posh upbringing. Seems like a petty snipe.

A carpet fitter, I believe, then made money in the city as a trader. Either way, Crawley Jr is rich rather than posh. It will take another generation at least before he can be considered to be from the ‘right sort of family’.

I guess this thread is quiet because everyone is watching India fall to their first home series defeat since 2012 but we’re bowling pretty well this morning

Impressed with the ground DJ blasting out Oasis and ACDC songs in between overs which seems totally out of place in a test with stuff all people there.

That doesn't feel right to me. They don't change non-given/referred lbws that were out to out after the fact

... Imagine if Smith was dismissed for 101 yesterday.. LOL!

On a slightly positive note it now means he doesn't add to his tally of dimissed in the nervous 90's

FYI I wasn't in this thread because I was asleep.

But wild that India are about to fall to their first home series defeat since 2012!
