Not good, man.
Selection and confidence issues?

What has happened to Zak Crawley? He also seems to be struggling off late. I saw him as the next big thing in Tests for England.

Maybe a mix of this bubble life and the step up to test cricket from the county championship. Basically the last like so many currently are out of nick. Struggled in India like nearly everyone, had an ok start to CC with some scores and then struggled again in the first test series of the summer.

The question as always is who replaces that's any better and also with so many ipl players to come back in do you even need a other debut player this summer

Nasser just did a good 3rd man on Crawley. He highlighted that his trigger movement from last summer (the movement of the front foot) has totally disappeared, and he�s static at delivery.

Imagine Bracey could play at 3 if Foakes/Buttler comes back to keep.

Crawley has been out virtually the same way last 3 times. I dunno if anyone else thinks the same but today he looked like he tried to pull out of the drive-caught in two minds.

Burns seems the only one really to have some county form behind him and is consistent.

It might be right for Crawley to get some work done away from the test scene-generally think you should give players more time but it might be beneficial to him to do some technical work.

Oh Ollie, what on Earth...

lawrence looks all over the place against pace, might play spin well but the sooner stokes is back the better

oddly I had exactly the same thought - he scores hundreds for fun in the Championship, and not just on Oval featherbeds, but his Test form is becoming...no, has gone past the stage of giving concern.

Pope�s biggest problem is that he seems to think he needs to (and can) score off every ball once he�s been in for more than 10 minutes. It�s very rare that he gets out to a stonkingly good ball.

I don�t see the similarities with Ramps. Ramps, particularly in the early years, put way too much pressure on himself, and quite often froze on the biggest stage.

Similarities are scorers ramps had 2 tons in 90 odd innings

Pope has 1 in 30 and is going backwards average wise....

Both elegant stroke players

Not good enough from Pope, still convinced he has all the talent needed to do well.

I dunno just how good Bracey is but there�s opportunities ahead of him if he can take his chance. I don�t think we can have Pope and Crawley against India in this form.

Time for Pope to get dropped. 19 Tests average 31. Clearly been exposed especially as he averages 62 in fc.

Burns gone. NZ will be batting before the end of day one.
