ex_midlandwhite Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I'd guess that was a pretty good day to watch SJM. Know not a great day for England but watching Jayawardene and Sangakarra bat at Lords and seeing Sangakarra make his Lords ton must have been good. Love watching Sangakarra bat. Also another member of the 10, 000+ runs club that has a ton at Lords. Chin up Ponting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Fuck off Cook and your shit boring negative captaincy. #battedtoolongagain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex_midlandwhite Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Agreed Traf, no wonder Lords not full, no urgency or intent there this afternoon at all, boring cricket. I am also not a fan of promoting personal milestones over the best chances of the team and I think Cook does that. If we set Sri Lanka and they chased it down fair play to them but it would still be in Cook's control as he could slow over rate and set super negative fields. I bet if Sri Lanka get to 50/0 he'll have negative fields anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Should have had 40 mins at them tonight, irrespective of our lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex_midlandwhite Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 180 spare runs. Poor from Cook. He has to realise quickly that he does not have Swann anymore and therefore cannot be as negative. If we lose the toss at Headingley and don't have a proper spinner I can see us losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Cook sacrificed victory to give Ballance a century. I've said it for a while, he's a piss poor captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted June 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 16, 2014 It wasn't in hindsight, though yesterday you said we were going to lose fortunately, you can say and do what you want without it mattering a toss cook doesnt have that luxury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 yesterday you said we were going to lose fortunately, you can say and do what you want without it mattering a toss cook doesnt have that luxury Aye But, if Cook isn't captaining so well and not scoring runs, summat has to give. I really want him scoring big hundreds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted June 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 16, 2014 i dunno but i wouldnt judge him on the timing of declarations both flower and moores both seem pretty conservative and both would have had a big say in the timing of this and previous declarations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
