Just once more, for old time’s sake…

In a weird way I feel sad for him

I think a lot of us do.

@steven19841984 Sorry, even then I was asking why he was in the team. They kept him too long, he never learned until it was too late down under and then he started playing proper innings.

@WG_RumblePants I agree with you but I still feel sorry for him

@WG_RumblePants You’re allowed, and i can understand it, at the moment he is struggling even in the county game so it’s hard for him. I don’t feel sorry about him losing the test place, but i won’t laugh about it either.

@WG_RumblePants Agreed 👍🏻

When Crawley plays well it's a thing of beauty to watch unfortunately it just didn't happen often enough. His 189 at Old Trafford against Starc Hazelwood and Cummins will live with me for a long time

It's not over. Let's all give him some encouragement and motivation. He needs to work on his game for 2 or 3 consistent County seasons, and the homecoming will be great. Class is permanent. 🤞

Sir Bazball Crawley 🫡 I'm a big fan honestly. 🔥

Nice. Assume England won that series? 👀

Morally

🤣🤣👍🏻

I was there for that and thats about the only thing I remember of that day….

End of an era, remember watching this the day after I finished exams, middle of winter here and the start of a great series

Ah, the good old days!

When he middled it, it was beautiful. When he nicked it to slip, not so much….

Great moment. Fitting way to begin a great series

Gee he must have gone on to win that Test and series for his country?

ICONIC

From Rory Burns 2021 ashes 1st ball trauma to Crawley's classy cover drive in 2023 to again same loop of going back with a pair in Perth 2024. Life has come to full circle.A technical coach & not just vibe guru would have changed fortunes of Crawley & Pope (remember 196 hyd)

This one shot has given much more pain to English fans for years that to Aussie.

I hope he cam find his mojo again. I'll miss him 😢

Just once more, for old times’ sake. 😉

Test average 31.18, such a massively overrated player.

Every chance he’ll get back into the reckoning at some point.Too good a player.

Best ashes series in recent time

He should have a good long chat with Gooch on how you construct a run of innings. I feel and have always felt he needs to be taught to think like a batsman.

Zak Crawley career highlights?

As an Aussie I wish he could play forever!😉

I was there. What a roar 😜

Good riddance to be honest. His form this season has shown he’s not in good enough nick to face the Kiwis or Pakistanis. Looking forward to Gay or Rew showing their class

And still didn't win the Ashes!!! Lol how has Bazball worked out for you?? 🇦🇺 let's hope the Kiwis beat you aswell! Do not underestimate them! 🇳🇿

That elegant cover drive! Bring Crawley back for one more magical Ashes.

A victim of the plan to win at home by producing roads then failing everywhere else and on every other type of pitch

@ZakCrawleyFan I feel so torn. On one hand, yes obviously he hasn’t been performing and deserves to be dropped. But on the other, when he performs there isn’t a better looking player. I will forever mourn the opener that could’ve been with Crawley.

@holland_tom Trying hard to recall the old days...

Mitch Starc says hi 👋

Plays two good innings per series, the rest is utter rubbish.

I do ponder how often a test starts with a bowler being hit for 4 and the same bowler hitting the winning runs for 4.

Forget that - this was his career highlight.

I’m devastated he’s gone … he was my favourite player and that shot ? Orgasmic 🙈.
