Crawley put up the 1st and 4th highest innings of either sides top 5.

1st and 4th out of 20 innings including 8 from the 4 highest ranked test batsmen run the world and he’s probably got the most criticism for getting out.
I guess the issue is its obvious he has the technique to be brilliant, but unfortunately not the mentality and that frustrates people so much they become blinkered , I agree with you however
 
That says more about the general standard of batting to be honest.

No it doesn’t, Steve Smith and Joe Root are widely considered two of the best batsmen ever to play the game.

Crawley just gets judged completely differently to every other player on either side.

There’s no doubting he’s a player but he hasn’t really learnt to play a situation

Root got his fair share tbh and is definitely more at fault, bot least because he's definitely better than how he's played. It's how Crawley gets out that is the annoying thing. He can be absolutely glorious and then throws it away. It's why he averages 28.

Read what I said. He got a couple of decent scores in 1 test, as I said, but if you think 28 is decent over 35 tests we strongly disagree. Also as I said if the top 6 average 28 then the team is lucky to top 250
 
We won't lose this.
That spinner looks like harry Potter and is bang average.
Blitz a quick 50 after lunch and its job done.
