*Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

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

Even though it's a really important one.

I've definitely see Dave Warner get a far worse one.

Although it could have just been a fifty. Can't remember the game just remember thinking it was the flukiest and ugliest knock I'd watched.

Least Crawley has played some good shots here.

 

[Spark]

It is genuinely astonishing the extent to which they just refuse to hold to a dry wide line as a consistent tactic. It's like they'll try literally everything except that.

 

[GIMH]

Cummins has had Root’s number, surely orthodox is the way to go?

 

[Wayner]

Root looks in the mood

 

[Blenkinsop]

Crawley's knock has been lucky, but hardly ugly.

Especially because dry + wide is probably the way to bowl against Crawley! Or big hitting batsman in general.

 

[GotSpin]

**** off cummins too

Yeah as terrible as I think Crawley is, he is rarely ugly.

 

[Qlder]

So Zac Crawley only 24 runs short of top run scorer for England this series....who knew

 

[social]

Only thing worse than Crawley’s innings is Cummins bowling

Don’t understand it at all & haven’t all series

 

[Spark]

Especially because dry + wide is probably the way to bowl against Crawley! Or big hitting batsman in general.

Literally every time they go wide he starts edging the ball or missing it. But no let's keep bowling on his pads.

 

[Spark]

Anyway now does everyone believe me that the bowling has been the real problem?

 

[RightArmMystery]

Cummins having a shocker today. Out first ball with the bat, dreadful captaincy, and now going at over 6 with the ball. You love to see it.

Ponting not sure whether to describe Australia as 'rattled' or 'confused'.

We have a perfectly good word for it - #spooked.

 

[Silver Silva]

I never thought Test Cricket could be played this way consistently, this is carnage ..78 runs in the last 10!

 

[RightArmMystery]

Going at over 7 an over this afternoon. BAZBALL #GoodVibezOnly

 

[Wayner]

Im sitting here near 2am in the morning in NZ and this is maybe the best series Ive watched ever, I know people love to hate on how England are playing their cricket right now but this is hard to turn away from

This is how England play these days against weak attacks.
