**** crawley off and bring in hameed, Burns can stay, good fc record and has the best record of this shite top 3, Sibley's fate to be decided by his score here.

crawley is 23 and has potential

but the other 2 can go

what is it with all these guys taking guard on off stump?
Burns is fine lmao, was great against nz a series ago, just copped 2 good balls this match

Crawley's Test record excluding his highest score is 470 runs @ 18.80. Must be one of the worst records for a number 3 batsman for a major Test nation in recent times.

Whatever it takes!!!
Folks being too harsh on Crawley for this innings. Both dismissals were off the best balls of the innings so far and Root has had like 4 balls here he could have easily gotten out to. Just a question of luck at this point.

Also, this is some amazing bowling and perhaps the best spell of bowling with the sun out so far in this test match. If we hopefully get a proper 5 day test match with no rain for the next test, we should surely have Ash ahead of Lord.

I don't like to wish ill on anyone, but if Shami could just tug his hammy a little and not be able to bowl we might take this into tomorrow

Forever is ridiculously harsh. He is a talented young player who should just not be playing international cricket right now.
Other than one innings I haven't seen much talent on display unless being loose and gifting your wicket away constantly counts as a talent.

Poor mans James Vince.

Lol no.. Next test is at lords. You don't need 2 spinners there. Maybe in Oval & Manchester

I still think Crawley is a talent. But he needs time in county cricket before he gets back in the team. That 267 increasingly looking like a one-off fluke.

Sibley can at least occupy the crease so can see the logic for him in England. Outside of it though? Should be jettisioned.

It says a lot that Burns is the best of the 3.
