Crawley hits a couple of fielders.

He's absolutely smoked two balls to fielders.

He smashed them.

Duckett goes and has a chat with him and says, well, it's time to get out now.

And then Cummins bowls him an absolute fucking seed.

We don't even get to say that Crawley did a dumb thing.

Baby did a dumb, dumb thing.

It's just a seed, and you're kissing your teeth.

It's a fucking children's department store seed.

Mate, and him and Lyon coming into the side, it just stiffened the side, didn't it?

It stiffened something.

The quality of Lyon and Cummins coming in, and Lyon just the perfect bowler for these conditions right now, exposing again limitations in England's

entire game plan and approach etc it was a joy to watch really like today was a exhibition of high quality bowling on a deck that offered a little bit but it was a batting day 38 degrees how many times i have to say it yeah get out of here and they just they just dismantled guys who were not good enough this wasn't even this wasn't even like a castigation of basketball game plan stuff i want to get to that but

I'm pretty sure Ben Stokes has personally excused himself from basketball.

It's recess on basketball for Stokesy.

I don't know.

Is basketball just whatever Stokes does?

I'm not sure what it is anymore.

But whatever it has been, he's out.

And I think he's dismissed himself from it.
