How far can Zak Crawley go in his Test career?

[Amjid Javed]

The white Yasir Hameed. How do you not score a single hundred in four innings on the flattest roads you'll ever see ?

Living example of class privilege in English cricket. If you go to public school and your dad is on the Sunday Times Rich List, you don't need to worry about getting enough chances.

Other then when playing vs Pakistan, Crawley has been trash. He definitely needs to get the boot

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Duckett is the real deal, Crawley is just a Pak basher

What is Crawley’s career stat minus that giant knock he played against Pakistan

 

[Devadwal]

No opener in Test history with 2,500 runs has averaged less than Zak Crawley..

Crawley test avg is 30.33 after 55 test matches

29.17

29.17

Damn bro that’s a pathetic record who’s played 50 tests.

 

[Mockingbird]

The other day somebody summed it up brilliantly on BBC sport - “ not sure i would have Crawley opening his front door, let alone the batting for England”

Sometimes you just need to pull the plug, instead of trying to prove a point to yourself.

Atleast Greame Hick had an incredible run on the county circuit before he was given that 'blind faith' run.

Not sure what Crawley has done to earn this kind of backing, besides McCullum thinking that he looks like a really good player.

For me Bethell should replace him ASAP. Far better all-round game.

It’s not about the Pakistan knock.

Crawley averaged 50 and was England’s top scorer in the 2023 Ashes. He is still living off that performance although he has not done enough in the last two years.

Did he play vs Pakistan in the 2023 Ashes?

He is poor and should be dropped, but let’s not rewrite history and blame Pakistan for everything.

He averaged 50 in 2023 Ashes. That is why he is still in the team, although I think he should definitely be axed if he fails in the remaining 3 Tests.

When is Virat Kohli eligible to bat for England?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Crawley continues to be pathetic... another failure for him.. Against India, 3rd test, 1st inning.

18 for him only...

ENgland need to move on from him.

Pope is mediocre as well.
