Azam finding out Test cricket is a whole lot more difficult when you’re not padding your stats up against terrible sides like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Jeez will you give it a rest.

He's a quality player right up with the best in the world over the past few years, and he's facing a top quality attack in tricky conditions.

‘Right up with the best in the world’
Sure he is. Averages 35 outside Asia with a solitary century. In your delusional state that might a top player but in the real world it’s not. He’s a flat track bully.

First, there was Pope; then, came Sibley. And, now there is Crawley. What's England doing to find this talent!?!!

Long before they won the CWC 2019, I was saying the same thing about England ODI side: talent galore! Now, England is doing the same thing with the Test team.

Whatever is their team building strategy, it is working like gangbusters!

Somebody steal their playbook.

Crawley is the exception but both Pope and Sibley are products of the county championship and their experience there. Crawley has been learning on the job as a top order test batsman but he really does seem to be getting better all the time. Definitely one to be excited about.

Was great to see some excellent sportsmanship today with each of the Pakistan team running up to congratulate Crawley after his dismissal, and with Younis Khan giving him a standing ovation.

Even if he doesn't make it back to the England side, great to see him enjoying his cricket again.

Looks like he's bowling shorter spells and not being run into the ground, have they finally worked out how they want to use him?

Totally agree,I think he will play for England again and a change was needed.

Coaching is hard to pinpoint with many players but I'm sure it's Moores at Notts and it may be what Hameed needs

I know Moores didn't work out at top level but from what I have read he is highly thought of.
