Duckett's 93 Fuels Fire Under Crawley's Test Opener Throne
Notts draw with Warwickshire tons. Duckett and Gay's form squeezes England Test openers.
Ben Duckett doesn't care about your top-order sympathy. He carved 93 against Warwickshire—average now 45.25—while Zak Crawley's sits at 19.66. Nottinghamshire batted out a draw, declaring 537/7 in the second dig. Kyle Verreynne 115, Haseeb Hameed 115, Joe Clarke 82. Follow-on enforced. No dice.
Emilio Gay's 159* (avg 86) piles on. James Rew at 75.07. Dom Sibley, Dan Lawrence lurking. England's Test spots ahead of New Zealand? Top order's a knife fight now. Duckett presses. Crawley sweats.
County grind delivers. Selectors watch Edgbaston closemongers bat forever.
