Test squad v Ireland


I’m not desperate to lose any wicket

What I’m desperate is not to see Crawley doing what he has done throughout his career at championship and test level

Right arm over , caught second or third slip

Left arm over , lbw , bowled or thin to wk or first slip

Southee and Boult did this last year

Hazelwood and Starc are coming

I’m also desperate to not see him dropping slip catches but having watched him drop 13 of the 26 possible catches he has had, then it’s very likely that will continue to Englands cost

I’m really desperate me

They would be gutted just like any England fan would be if our batsman get out earlier in a Ashes Test.

You totally misread this board at times mate, just because people have varying views on who should make the side.

Still means whoever does make that side every England fan will clearly want them to do well.

You have not got elusive rights on been a passionate England and wanting England to do well.

We all do. Of course we do!!!

He's a walking test wicket mate, the Aussies will be delighted he is opening the batting

Totally agree. I hope I’m wrong though

Last summer by the end of the series the New Zealand bowlers barely celebrated his wicket. It was so routine and most of the forum spent hours discussing his body language , which screamed off get me out of here

It’s incredible he is still going to play until he is injured

I hope like you he proves everybody wrong, haven't seen anything yet mind to suggest he will.

No it won’t.

Because people are grown ups and England winning is 1000 times more important than scoring points on here.

It’s more your mindset you need to look at if you think that.

I know you passionate mate, I get that but you don’t half come across as immature on here mind at times

Ha he will like yeah, if Crawley can get away a few times in the series and get off to a flyer, then he has done his job

Puttin all the crawley stuff aside, people are still judging this england team by old metrics, you arent going to get someone averaging anywhere near 40 opening the batting in England playing this way, so its pointless just going off the average.

You dead right of course people should not expect Crawley to average really high playing the way he does, and the set up obviously wants him to do that.

So I get that point absolutely fair enough.

But people are still allowed to say in their opinion he should not make the first choice side.

That is allowed and fair

Tickets must not be selling very well. Just got this from Lords

Dear Ticket holder,

We’re excited to welcome you to Lord’s for the fourth and final day of England’s first Test match of the summer against Ireland on Sunday 4 June.

We are reducing our prices for this day, with the result that tickets are now £25 for adults and £5 for under-16s. Your seats remain the same and your ticket is still valid.

We’re applying the reduction retrospectively, meaning that you will shortly receive a credit for the difference in price. This amount will be returned automatically, within the next 14 days, to the account of the debit or credit card you used when making your original purchase.

I hope you have a fantastic time with us at the Home of Cricket next month.
