June 14, 201412 yr Nursery ground pie and a pint, touch of rain, nice to be here Have you had a jammie dodger as well?!
June 15, 201412 yr 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.

June 15, 201412 yr Did I mention England to lose? Could be 2nd on list http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Records/Test/Overall/Team/Highest_First_Innings_Totals_To_Lose.html Edited June 15, 201412 yr by boltondiver
June 15, 201412 yr 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.
June 15, 201412 yr Should have had 40 mins at them tonight, irrespective of our lead. Time will tell, but I would concur with your analysis
June 16, 201412 yr 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.
June 16, 201412 yr Should've declared last night but hindsight is wonderful It wasn't in hindsight, though
June 16, 201412 yr Cook sacrificed victory to give Ballance a century. I've said it for a while, he's a piss poor captain.
June 16, 201412 yr 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
June 16, 201412 yr 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
June 16, 201412 yr aye, but like me, you remember brearley I don't remember him but from what I understand Cook is nothing like him?
June 16, 201412 yr he's not only point is you can be a very good captain without being worth a place in the team as a batsman or bowler
June 16, 201412 yr he's not only point is you can be a very good captain without being worth a place in the team as a batsman or bowler Do you think he's a good captain?
June 16, 201412 yr 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
