When Crawley gets going, he is gorgeous to watch.

absolute brain fade!

another question though, are both teams starting to take the pi55 with all the ball changes? seems as soon as the swing stops they cry until the umpires get bored of hearing about it and give them one that does. cant say that Crawley would have been bowled by the ball they had swapped out

Eng making big 4th innings chases look easy, not once but many times against decent bowling attacks. Have to give it to Mccullum to bring about this level of change after the Ashes drubbing. I thought he will bring about a positive change but never expected it ll be this immediate. Shows how important the coach still is. Even though technique wise he doesn't do much at this level, the environment, temperament and strategy he brings to the table is far more important than any technique changes just a pure technical specialist can bring about.

Next Ashes gonna be really exciting, who knows, it could even be an Aussie drubbing if Lees/Crawley/Pope get going by then in addition to Root, JB, Stokes.

Anyone still want to drop Jonny?

This all seems a bit random, does it not. I don't ascribe to the "we hate Jonny" view espoused by many on here, but I also think that if he is to return to the Test side, unless common sense has prevailed and he is taking the gloves back, in which case batting form is slightly less relevant, then he ought to be told to go and dominate in County cricket. He has not played any first class cricket since India, so throwing him in just risks causing more uncertainty as to whether he is good enough.

Anyone not sure if he's good enough?

You'd have got pretty good odds on Bairstow scoring zip when that comment was first posted like. I don't think last summer anyone was saying Bairstow would come out and go on this kind of hot streak in 2022.

Funny, Bracey was such a popular pick!

I'd back Simpson or Ben Brown to do a decent short-term job, if needed.

But we're still hoping Bairstow will rediscover his batting, aren't we?

I, at least, held out hope.

I would hope McCullum would be encouraging the players to treat the Ashes like any other series.

Fair play, although it's a bit of a step from "rediscover his batting" to the all-time high that this purple patch represents.

Chasing nearly 400 last is some going so don�t want to put any negatives but it seems from the radio where normally you would expect pitches like Trent bridge and edgbaston to deteriorate that have not done on days 4 and 5. They don�t seem to spin that much either.

So yes fantastic from us but with balls going soft and out of shape pretty quick, these last 2 wickets have been good for batting till the end.

Im impressed, if a little concerned about your mental health, that you traced up a year old comment to use out of context here. Go you!

Give it a rest, eh? You don't know much.
