Brendon McCullum has stressed the importance of “selection loyalty” but believes England could have gone harder at South Africa during their crushing three-day defeat in the first Test at Lord’s.
South Africa overwhelmed England by an innings and 12-runs inside three days in the first Test at Lord's.
While much of the focus following South Africa's resounding innings and 12 runs victory over England at Lord's has centred on the fast bowling unit, spinner Keshav Maharaj also played a key role for the Proteas.
The 24-year-old managed scores of nine and 13 at Lord's where South Africa triumphed by an innings and 12 runs inside three days to grab a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Crawley is now without a half-century in his last 14 innings and his unflattering Test average of 26 has prompted questions about his place in the squad. "The problem Zak Crawley has is that we haven't had the upside to go with the downside," former England captain Andrew Strauss told Sky Sports.
LONDON : England opener Zak Crawley's run drought shows no signs of abating and his failure in the opening test against South Africa appears to have made his position in the side untenable.
Sarel Erwee’s unbeaten half-century helped South Africa take further control of the first Test against England by moving within touching distance of a first innings’ lead at tea on day two at Lord’s.
England once again had no answer to South Africa’s impressive bowling attack and suffered an embarrassing defeat by an innings and 12 runs in the first Test at Lord’s inside three days.
South Africa maintained their stranglehold on the first Test at Lord’s by bowling England out for 165 on the second morning with Kagiso Rabada claiming an impressive five-wicket haul.
