What are we actually playing now? - It's not "bazzball" and it's not Test Cricket.

I wonder if Johnny Stones is there watching ? Certainly sounds like his song being sung. They did sing it for Harry Brook (briefly) earlier.

This England team have become experts at getting into promising positions and then fumbling it out of sheer stupidity.
Be fair, it’s not just stupidity, it’s also a hefty dose of arrogance too.

Par score about 270? What d’ya think? I think we’ll do well to get 220 here. Bairstow looks scared shitless
Foakes, Buttler, both have better test averages, both can also wicket keep. Crawley is shite, unfortunately (nice lad)
Crawleys average in this series is 38
Khawaja’s is 62
Warner’s is 28
Duckett’s is 42
The average for all 4 openers is 40
He’s got more runs than Pope, Labushagne, Warner, Brook.
So let’s have a bit of perspective, he’s doing OK. Could be better, but not the reason England are 2-0 down and much better than anyone else would be doing opening - including Bairstow, Foakes whoever.
And if he does work on whatever it is that’s costing him - concentration mostly- he’s got excellent technique and scores very quickly, so it’s well worth England sticking with him given he’s only 25.
