Being an Englishman in Australia maybe my view of things is skewed but I really feel that all decisions correctly should be being made with a view to winning out here next year. Given that as the goal I just don’t understand the Crawley thing at all, he just won’t succeed out here, maybe at best he’ll have a day out in Adelaide but I don’t see it happening anywhere else, certainly not the Gabba or Perth (even if it’s not the WACA anymore) so what is the point of this
Being consistently 1/12 when your best player (Root) makes way too many tidy 70 odds and not enough grind them into the dirt big hundreds, is not a combination for winning in Australia
Interesting stuff - at what point will/do/should they consider the bet on Crawley lost? Because as you note, 40 Tests is a lot.
