[Shaggy]

But how can he possibly be accused of being an Australian cheerleader when he criticised them relentlessly for about four years? He just calls things as he sees them.

If I remember rightly KP was fined for having a go at a Sky commentator (Nick Knight). Wonder if the same will happen to Cook? #nochance

Kind of Honours even this morning. Looks like it could be a good test though. Plenty of runs in the pitch, but the ball giving a lot of swing for the bowlers.

Game on

If we don't have them 6/7 down by the end of play the decision to put them in will look a poor one.

Prior's drop

Prior's wank. Get him out.

He's had 4 lives this innings. Ridiculous.

[Chazza]

Cook fails again.

Losing the captaincy might help his batting, that's really not good enough at this level.

[captainfog]

He needs 6 months away from the international scene. Bell and Strauss both got dropped and came back better players.

[captainfog]

Robson is going to get 100 today.

Dig in and plod on.
