Buttler scored 150 and a 50. Crawley scored 250 and a 50. Both dropped one catch. Not sure why it's even debatable that Buttler be ahead of Crawley tbh.

Plus Crawley at least bothered trying to get the run rate going to help with the declaration, rather than batting for his average.

Most biased vote I’ve ever seen, certainly not tempered by the England management at all. Crawley deserved it for his knock way more, as did Broad and Woakes for their contributions

Biased in what way?

If you can give me any genuine reason why they would be any bias I will take you seriously.

Otherwise stop taking complete nonsense!

Apart from the fact in a partnership he took the team from 117 for 5 in the final innings of the match to chase 277 to win the only result test match in a fanastic run chase.

Hway mate you better than that, there will be no bias there all England players.

I can’t believe you actually think that.

There is nothing to vindicate after this series surely?

It’s the over the top comments that gets me ‘most biased vote I have ever seen’

What a load of bollocks.

I get it he doesn’t rate him, but he never once has the good grace to say he has performed well and had a good series despite the overwhelming evidence.
 
It was always canny on here. I love cricket but I appreciate many people on here know more about it than me. I was a good footballer but never played cricket to any standard, so I tend not to post much. However, it's sad it's turning into another version of PF. I come on here to learn a bit more about the game, I hope it can get back to that.

Just to confirm, I don't truly believe that the England team make England pick Jos as PoTS ;)

In fairness it was very canny on here during the West Indies series. I won't say what's changed...🤐

Plenty of reasons. To prevent media pressure on Buttler's place in the team, confidence boost for the lad, vindication of management teams decisions.

Crawley scored 250 and a 50, Buttler scored 150 and a 50. And there were questions about his keeping throughout the summer - let's not forget that awful day he had dropping 4 catches in a day. Also Crawley is in his first proper test series, Buttler must be up around 60 tests now, so all of that factored in, can you really give a reason why Buttler deserved it more than Crawley?

Yes, it was a good catch. He did drop several pretty easy catches as well though to counter balance.

Deadly serious mate. Not sure why Crawley would not win it ahead of Buttler aside from England management intervention

Do you not think the 50 you talking about which was actually 75, becuase it was part of a match winning knock should be taken into account.

Unless you saying match winning knocks don’t matter and Stokes 82 in the World Cup final was not as good as a hundred scored in another match in the competition.

As ever with your arguments there lack balance, there is a fair argument Crawley could have won it, but it was a close call,that could have gone either way.

But your bias bullshit just shows your lack of class for the umpeeth time.

A 75 is classed as "scoring a 50" in cricket and it will be noted down as a 50 in his tally of 50s and 100s. Also for balance, Crawley didn't score 50 and 250 and Buttler also didn't score 100. What a stupid comment. And I counted it, it was listed, alongside Crawleys 50 and 250.

Crawleys 250 was a match winning knock. He done his job - we couldn't lose the game after that. Just because Root and the bowlers couldn't finish it off (with rain intervention) doesn't degrade the quality of Crawleys knock at all. By your logic his 250 counts for less because we didn't actually win the game.

"umpeeth" is a cracker.

I reckon you pissed just total nonsense, match winning knocks don’t matter!

And if you score 70 odd or 80 odd or 90 odd to win matches they just counted as a 50 nothing more nothing less:D
