Quite right Bomber. Brook is not an opening batsman so cannot replace Crawley without a reshuffle in the top order which would be nonsensical. Having watched Crawley for a few years at Kent, I have always thought that he is better suited to the one day game where he can score quick runs at the top of the order. He hasn't got the technique to grind out an innings as so many of the top openers have done over the years.
