*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

Good Statting from Nas, one tenth of Zak's first class runs in this innings.

'Mohammad Abbas to Crawley, FOUR runs
Disdainful and what a way to get to 250! Incidentally a score a certain Sachin Tendulkar never experienced in Test cricket.'

Cricinfo commentator gets bored, invites furious emails

 

[TT Boy]

Not bad for a guy that averages a tick above 30. Looked decent in South Africa and this has been an incredible innings. Dominated from the outset.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

And another boundary....257-- Ricky Ponting's highest score in Tests... and Wasim Akram's

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So into the top 10 of all time England partnerships and top 5 all time 5th wicket stands. Decent effort.

 

[aussie tragic]

Crawley with 267* now has the 10th highest ever score for England

 

[trundler]

Surely they'll let him go for the triple

 

[Starfighter]

I know it's a crappy part timer, but reverse sweeping from that far outside leg takes some doing.

 

[honestbharani]

Pretty good strategy that, to let Crawley go for his shots coz:

a. he seems to want to, anyways
b. gives him best shot to make his triple and help his team at the same time
c. leaves them with ODI Beast mode Buttler still up their sleeve.

I know it's a crappy part timer, but reverse sweeping from that far outside leg takes some doing.

When you are hitting to the left hander's midwicket, its no longer a reverse "sweep" IMO. Just a reverse hit, really.

**** declaring, we've won the series, Zak bat on for all the records.

 

[trundler]

**** declaring, we've won the series, Zak bat on for all the records.

Yeah, get to 300, eye Hutton and then see where that goes

 

[flibbertyjibber]

**** declaring, we've won the series, Zak bat on for all the records.

Too right, bat once bat large and if we have time to win by an innings great.

 

[TT Boy]

Surely they'll let him go for the triple

To declare would be a huge downer. Butler still hasn’t even gone at them yet and Crawley is in the zone. Plenty of time to break all records and still get a bowl tonight.

 

[TT Boy]

****. Now you can declare.

 

[Starfighter]

Dammit.

 

[aussie tragic]

Well played Zac Crawley, one of the best innings I've seen for awhile.

 

[Nintendo]

Crawley looks absolutely cooked, not surprised he's missed that.

 

[Starfighter]

OTOH Asad proving my long held belief that negative bowling is useful when the usual tactics have failed.

 

[Pothas]

Should have sent in Broad just for laughs.
