Yea Crawley has been very good, last couple of tests especially. There was a long period where he’d get 40 odd then do something stupid but it looks like he’s learning and growing as the series has gone on.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss a horrific month of December and a depressing FOUR defeats in a row - the latest coming against Wolves and Newcastle.
They discuss how much blame is on Ruben Amorim and rank our squad against other Premier League teams.
Do we have any chance of avoiding defeat at Anfield?
Erm... weather looking a bit shit for next few days
Been poor all week - should be enough cricket.
game's over surely?
The way this series has gone you never know....
Root 50 off 42 balls without taking a risk.
Quite the jinx
Expected a cluster of wickets at some point - we need another 100-150. Wont be easy if Mo can't bat properly.
Beautiful Jinx.
Stokes one was not a good shot but Brooks one was a really good ball. Come on Johnny
This is the time for the batters to calm down and not chase boundaries. Australia's bowlers have woken up. Just calm down and ease into the game because you need another 100 to win this.
This really has been an enjoyable but brutally infuriating test series to watch.
Collapse avoided in that session - England still well placed.
Over rate a complete joke again. England are poor with it, Australia shocking.

11 overs behind is awful, more should be done to cur it out but I doubt it will.
Stokes hit a bad shot and Brook got a good ball, but 250+ up after that session is good, ideally need to get 330+ from here let's hope we can get to that
Loving this from Indian view point, both teams will
Compete for WTC .
Compete for WTC .
Has the WTC caught on in India then?
For now at least, I genuinely dont think anyone in England gives a shit.
This pitch looks really flat. England need to get another 100 at least
It got lost because he got out early but that six from Brook was sooooo good
Aside from the cricket, the Alzheimer's collaboration has been fantastic.
We've played some brilliant cricket in the last two games. Quite proud of the way they're fighting in this one after the disappointment of the rain thwarting us. On the balance of play Australia really have had a bit of luck on their side.
This is reminding me of their partnership vs India last year.
England have been fantastic ever since the Aussies disgraced the spirit of the game
As predicted by a few of us in here, it really got the fire going. Been by far the better side since. They'll be lucky to escape with 2-2.
Annoyingly, rain is forecast at 70-90% in London tomorrow from 11am onwards and the same on monday.

The same on day 4 too.
On what site?
We should be fine until tea tomorrow - and the following day is sporadic showers
(Met office and BBC).
Unfortunately it’s the kind of thing the media don’t pick up on until England are involved. It’s like that for so many sports and it’s infuriating.
My bad
BBC also, although it was London overall and I didn't specify a region.
I mean - it's brand new, and the media is the same everywhere. Hence I was asking if it caught on in India as I assume they got up for it as they made the final.
South London isn't that bad.It should be interruptions over the next two days rather than anything like OT.
Forecast looks ok to me, maybe some showers but hopefully not game threatening.
Certainly looks a better chance of a result than Manchester. The lead should (in theory) be unassailable by the end of today.
We are lucky to have Joe Root what a sensational cricketer he is
fecking hell just as I posted that bowled
fecking hell just as I posted that bowled
Root out b/ Murphy
Ooooooh turn from the rough - nice. C'mon pitch, start doing stuff
When do we reckon the declaration will come? 400 a good enough score or do England want more?
I think we'll just get bowled out.
I was so desperate for a Root 100 ffs
That Root dismissal basically went along the floor (and turned). Second time in two test matches he’s got out to a low one when looking certain to get a big score.
I think Murphy is quite a promising spinner. Kind of reminds me of Swann the way he bundles in with energy and gets good revs on it.
