All am saying is not really that dismilar to Burns

is a 94 much difference to 101?

Crawley goes big here will play I assume then aye

just think he has had too much stick that is all, face doesnt seem to fit.

No problem with any change if they are sure BTW.

Because he's old and doesn't get good scores

Burns has shown he can kick on and make 100’s and you’d expect his best days are to come.

I can understand continuing with Denly after the Ashes but not now, I’d give Crawley a run and look to the future.

The thing on a 100s is something that has always annoyed me like, nothing to do with Denly

Denly gets 94 and its seen as not a big innings, Burns gets 101 in NZ and its seen as this marvelous innings

7 more runs!

yeah fair enough, logic in it,

please dont be out
phew!

I know what you mean but that’s cricket for you, no one will remember Denly’s 94 but centuries stand out. Not saying that’s right but it’s the law of the cricketing land.

Burns has work to do but I think there’s plenty to work with. He needs to apply consistency when he gets starts though.

I can personally just see more potential improvement in players like Burns and Crawley. They have time to work on any negatives and improve. Denly just doesn't, he is in the twilight of his career. He has done a job for England but i think his job is over.

I’m not personally keen on Sibley who appears to be too one dimensional and very limited technically.I might be wrong but I don’t think his one sided game will be coached out of him because I doubt he has enough natural talent to absorb major changes to his playing style.
I might and hope I am wrong however Effectively 37 for 3 now
Things going Windies way at the moment no doubt

Could not agree more he looks like he has one way to play
 
38 overs to go, 100 runs for 2 wickets, would leave us 150 ahead with 5 wickets. Bat out first session tomorrow and can set 240 in 60 overs.....this game has been very good advert for cricket so far

Bit like Graeme Smith?

No nothing like Smith who was a class act

All about opinions but think Sibley quite lucky he never made is debut in the Ashes and was held back to make his debut against South Africa as personally think Cummins and Hazelwood would have found him out

To me looking at Burns,Sibley and Crawley think Burns is the best of the 3, really stood up to that excellent Aussie attack in the Ashes
