Zak Crawley celebrates only his second England Test century in Antigua
(Picture: AP)Zak Crawley has tested England fans and selectors’ patience in the first 18 Tests of his career.
Crawley passes the eye test, playing with an elegance few in the Test game can match right now. And he has all the shots, off front and back foot to the seamers, plus sweeps on both sides of the wicket to the spinners. He has proved himself good enough to make 267, the second-highest maiden Test hundred by an Englishman, against a fine Pakistan attack. And in Johannesburg, Ahmedabad and Sydney he has played fleetingly attractive, if not match-winning, innings.
