    Good job he middled it - would have looked pretty silly if he had edged it to slip :)

    An hour gone on the first morning, Aussies have got a deep backward point to a spinner and England are playing reverse sweeps without a care, the keeper is stood up to a 85mph fast bowler with 4 men on the boundary…,,Worlds gone mad!

    Got to love our Antipodean friends’ customary terrible use of the review system. They’ll no doubt waste their reviews at some point on balls that miss the bat by a mile

    Must admit when I saw it at first I thought it was out and was hoping they didnt review - unless he got a nick

    Crawley half way through to his century already. Of all the top 5 he was the one I was most worried about.

    Plenty of work still to do, but a good start.

    Nathan Lyon could be the difference in this series. If the weather stays as it is there'll be some real dust bowl pitches.
    He's a world class spinner with all the tricks and we don't have one.
