In Bazball mode them balls get hit to the boundary

The good news is Crawley wouldn't get anywhere near that

Yep, Bazball is designed to lessen the impact of brilliant bowling.

The idea is that when you're charging along at 5 or 6 an over then you are racking up runs and can shrug off the odd worldie delivery.

Of course we might end up getting bowled out for 50 or something every now and then.

I don't see many tests going beyond day 3.

I have a ticket for the 5th day at Headingley. I don't think it will be used.

Crawley 0 B Starc

The angle and bounce on that delivery is insane. He could probably have ducked it but would have only realised that when the ball is sat in Smith's grasp.
