PLUCKY DUCK

Quack Crawley told to keep giving it a whack

- BY FELIX KEITH

STEVE Harmison has urged Zak Crawley to stick to his guns in the second Ashes Test next week, despite his failures in Perth.

Crawley (right) was out for a pair as England began the series disastrously Down Under. The opener lasted just 11 balls in his two knocks as Mitchell Starc dismissed him inside the first over in both innings.

His loose shots were symptomatic of England's shocking batting as they were rolled over inside two days.

But 2005 Ashes hero Harmison believes Crawley has enough about him to cope with the pressure in Brisbane. "Are there better players than Zak Crawley in this country? People will argue yes," said Harmison.
