Came on to post exactly the same thing. Isn’t just the spinners either, seem him have it come off the face straight to slips off the seam plenty as well.

With seam it’s very frustrating aswell, the habit of using that shot in one day cricket to nick 1 just seems to be one he can’t get out of.
 
Pretty even at lunch, I think. Shaheen was great and Crawley batted well. A score of 300 could well set up a win.
 
Well played Crawley

double it

Yeah, he’s far from the finished article but think he has the tools there to be a successful long term opener at least. Today’s wicket was frustrating but he showed some more pro-active batting there and it won’t come overnight.

Exactly the problem isn’t it, there’s a fine balance between being pro-active and scoring runs quicker and being comfortable in your own game. He looked good til that point but he needs to be careful he doesn’t give in to pressure to totally change his game.

just think it looks completely unnatural skipping Down pitch

maybe a little sweep or something be better

Pitch seems very unpredictable with low bounce.
Crawley looked assured and sibley was comfortable until feeling dot ball pressure.

Agree but he did play that shot a couple of times earlier in the innings so I assume it is something he has been working on.
