    Important not to lose another one. Yes we love chasing, but batting 4th on this pitch could be tricky.

    Hate to say it but I can't see Crawley lasting for long.

    New favourite hobby is replying “cry less” on Twitter to Indian fans. 

    I’m not proud of it - horrendously immature, gloriously funny. 

    I’ve just had an Indian fan scroll back 4 years to retweet Charlton fan Lee Fender calling me a cuck for defending @scandals66.

    Beautiful.

    He must average about 2 against New Zealand and 10 against everyone else but this is absolutely insane. 

    How are we in a situation where the bloke averages less than our number 8 in FC cricket but this can also be true. It makes zero sense.

    It’s about the balls he’s good at facing and exactly why he won’t be dropped before the ashes

    Terry is about 5'9"
    A fighter he ain't. 
    No idea how Zak grew into such a tall lad because height does not run In the family.

    Good job Crawley's not going to be facing Matt Henry any time soon as he has got him out 8 times for 29 runs at an average of 3.60. He also averages 15.70 against Scott Bolland, 23.00 against Nathan Lyon and an overall average of 27.60 in Australia. He won't be dropped now even though, despite this very good innings, he is barely averaging 30 in this Series and 10 other batters  have fared better.

    It's the same old story with Crawley. Bowl him half volleys so he can drive relentlessly or too straight so he can work the ball off his hips and he's devastating. If the ball is doing anything and the bowlers bowl to plans then his technique will simply break down. Why else has he scored just one ton in the last two years and that one against the team that lies 12/12 in Test cricket rankings, Zimbabwe? Let's hope the Aussies produce decks to suit him and not their bowlers. I have my doubts in that respect.

    I heard that traders were scared enough of him in the LIFFE pit. My first wife was a pit inspector as were a couple of other lads that played football for the team I managed at the time. Mind you, my wife only had to look at someone that she thought wasn't doing what perhaps they shouldn't to frighten them so it would probably have been a decent encounter to witness. I really do miss that look!!!

    To be honest in that environment he was pretty much the main man, I doubt anyone wanted to cross  him in that place. 
  • Gill has got to stop letting Siraj bully him into these nonsense reviews. Or not :)

    Root up past Dravid and Kallis to No.3 for highest Test runs.

    Now chasing down Ponting, needs 120 if he's to do it this innings.

    Kamboj is looking like an odd pick. Military medium, and nothing special with the bat either.

    Poor captaincy not to give Washington a bowl until 12:45

    Braindead batting there, with the drift Washington is getting.

    India really have missed a trick in delaying the introduction of Washington until we had more than 300 on the board.

    Rooooooooot.....was brilliantly stumped by Harry Finch off Parkinson.

    His brother though has just got yet another century.

    Where have India found Kamboj from? Looks like someone that's playing league cricket locally

    Pretty much. Siraj is surely due a rest too.
