The Cricket Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Sounds like text book preparation for a test summer for Crawley. I’ve given up looking at his early summer scores as they tend to count for nothing in the eyes of the selectors or in his ability to go on to score runs when he’s got his England shirt on.

Which is all true enough, but he couldn't buy a run in NZ...

Since a score of 76 at Lord's, he's on a run of:

0
3
18
78
27
3
29
2
0
1
17
8
21
5

In Tests, and his franchise form in the winter was so bad that he got dropped despite his price tag being quite high (I forget which crappy league it was, they all blur into one).

Some effort from Ethan Brookes in a defeat for Worcestershire. From being 7 down requiring 108, the rest of the batting managed just one run whilst Brookes got them within 28 runs of victory.
