Duckett's obviously there to just Baz it, and as in previous series, when it works it looks great and when it fails it's a joke (much like Bazball in general). As long as we're using the strategy, I think he's a necessary tool in the arsenal. But Crawley, I'm afraid, is drinking in last chance saloon: technique way too flawed to ever be a consistent Test opener, and only keeping his place due to the experience he's racked up compared to the potential replacements.
