Sydney: England Opener Zak Crawley said he would be ready to bear a harder health protocol to ensure the ash series finished, adding that tourists were determined to push back hard in Australia in the fourth exam this week.
A dominant round and 14-run victory in the third test in Melbourne on Tuesday gave Australia’s 3-0 advantage that was not recently in the series, leaving England to play only for pride in the last two matches.
The resurrection of Covid-19 in New South Wales has thrown a shadow over the Sydney test but Crawley said he was willing to see the health protocol tightened to ensure the match runs on Wednesday.
“Personally, I will …
I can’t talk to everyone about it, but we only have a few more weeks and I want to play two tests,” he told reporters at the Ground Cricket Sydney on Sunday.
“I hundred percent want to play this test, it must be comfortable.
The doctors say we are in a good place to continue and we fully support it.” Coach Chris Silverwood could not travel to Sydney for the test after the Covid-19 outbreak in the English camp who also robbed troops three specialist training staff.
The plan to bring Adam Holliake to help was released on Sunday when the close contact of the former England captain was tested positive for the virus.
Crawley said the players had united in training and had fierce determination to reverse things.
“Obviously, we navel on MCG lost such a game and lost the series in three matches,” he added.
“But every test is massive, especially ash tests here, so we all want two wins from the next two matches.” If we go with 3-2, obviously we have lost the series but we can lose the series but we can hold our heads that we not only let them walk over us and push back a little.
“Crawley, who was called to the side for the third test but was only able to make 17 running in two innings, the less experienced British batter should not be afraid of the Australian Bowler.” I will certainly try and be more confident, “he said.” I know full , I can print a hundred weeks and that’s what I will try.
