This is proper cricket, really strong counter attack, the kind of thing peak Australia used to do.
Yes, we have a lot more practice at compensating for poor openers. Some mustard bowling though.Sort of "peak Australia" with an English top order.
Anyone still calling for Crawley. to be given more time? Pleased for Leach though.
Except Boycott knows what he’s talking about & is actually from YorkshireWhat with the racism and being 20 years out of date on the cricket, Vaughan really going for the Geoffrey Boycott role it seems.
It was a sensational day's cricket and England were excellent.
This is good on Zak Crawley. I think he will get one last chance next week against India.

That is a devastating summary! Drop him now while he still has a remote chance of working his way back into the team.
Replace with Jos. Toss a coin with Pope to decide position or discuss and decide like adults.
Pope, Buttler, Root, Bairstow, Stokes is enough to strike fear into any opposition. Fits the new ethos of play to win (why did it take so long ??) and will bring in the paying crowds. Simple really.
