FOR FUCKS SAKE COOK USE A THIRD MAN.
Lord help us if Strauss loses form and has to quit as captain. Cook doesnt have a fucking clue about field positions.

christ, he puts a third man in, then removes it with 2 balls to go. and then right away the 20th 4 down to third man today. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 21 March 2010 04:56 (sixteen years ago)
Finally, Captain Cook sends Ian Bell to the third man boundary. In other news, a number of stable doors have been slammed following a number of escaped horses. Then, for no adequately explained reason, the third man is removed - and equally predictably, Bresnan finds the edge and Naeem profits from another four through third man! The TMS crew seem as exasperated by this as I am - Butch now estimates 50 runs have been leaked there this morning.
Everyone watching this is fucking screaming at Cook , is he the only one who cant see the runs England are haemorrhaging down to 3rd man?

419 all out.

Cook hasn't been that impressive has he? Cautious is fine, I guess, but it's been really stodgy and wooden (perhaps in some respects a bit lack his batting, if I was feeling unfair). Like the fielders at mid-on and mid-off yesterday, allowing the single, but also positioned far enough in to be hit over the top of.
I know people will say it's early days, but I seem to remember being quite impressed with Strauss when he first came in (before the interregnum of Flintoff and Pietersen etc), and slightly surprised they didn't have him for the 2006/7 Ashes.

Jonathan Trott's innings was quite something. Slower even than that Billy Godleman one I saw at Lord's last year.

he will hit 200 and be crowned our new lynchpin
or he will succumb in the morning as england tediously crawl* to within 20 of bangladesh
*graeme swann will not crawl

Embarrassing stuff by England. Trott out, Prior was plum LBW but the umpire didn't give it.

nice username btw
ha, I hoped someone would at least tell me how worthy of the Master it was
Bedser was maybe one of England's top 10 fast bowlers ever? Wouldn't say top 5, maybe 6 or 7

maybe? I've clearly forgotten someone
― william mcgonadal's tay ridge disaster (acoleuthic), Monday, 5 April 2010 00:40 (sixteen years ago)
Darren Gough instead of Snow if one takes modern batsman-friendly conditions into account perhaps

It's not! I just did it, based on my lifelong scouring of Cricinfo and scorecard analysis!

James Anderson better than George Lohmann, did I hear somebody say?

The only this could be any better would be if Murali had gotten his 800th against an Aussie.

Pakistan going nicely. Also, check Stuart Broad's figures against Warwickshire...

Broad, 8 for 52. Another bowler nipped in with a wicket, while some dunderheid got himself run out.
― tom d: he did what he had to do now he is dead (Tom D.), Thursday, 22 July 2010 13:43 (fifteen years ago)
Was thrilling watching Mohammad Aamer bowling the other day. Those two wickets he got straight after lunch were hairs on the back of the neck stuff. Looks like they might not fuck it up this time as well.
― GamalielRatsey, Friday, 23 July 2010 10:34 (fifteen years ago)
Was thrilling watching him bowl just now! Dude's the most exciting young cricketer on the PLANET
