Out of the pavilion ie on the pitch. Probably shouldn't have used the word out!

I meant he must be sick of coming out with us 2 down for under 30  and expected to rescue us

That was Crawley's time, he'd made a good start. Just needed to get to close and move on tomorrow morning.

But nope. Absolute waste of a spot in the team.

Nothing shot from Crawley. 
Same old same old. A decent start but can't play a long innings. 
YJB making a great play of grounding his bat in the crease.

Walking wicket loses a wicket shock. But hey, at least his dad is mates with the selector so he's still guaranteed his spot, even though anyone with half a cricketing braincell can see he's nowhere near good enough.

Picking Anderson for the first two Tests looks like a bad idea now. Woakes is never fashionable, but he offers more than Jimmy these days. I don't think the "geriatric" bowlers have let us down at all. Wood's pace was electric, his fifer fully deserved.

Robinson is a serious concern. He is only 28, rarely bowls above 80mph and is prone to minor injuries. The selectors love him, but I really don't see him as the new Stuart Broad. He's no quicker that Broad even now and will never play the number of matches. I'd rather see the likes of Potts and Tongue being given game time, and Mahmood when he's fit.

May come good. Bazball only however, who is now facing the realities of test cricket. Bar one innings he flopped in the IPL too.
False dawn?
