More rain please.

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

I read that in the Times this morning - it would have been nice (and actually not the worst idea) if he had been given the first ball in the test too... I would have given the new ball to him regardless on the sentimentality of it.

Should happen on form but won't happen

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Amen to that. What with him being an fec. Mind you, the selector kept faith with cookie and he cane good in a big way. I can't stand the petulant little **** but if he comes good then its for the best of the team.

I'm just wondering whether it's broads plan to bowl like he is then he deserves the scorn or whether he is taking flack for a team plan

Because he just looks class, he looked like he would always come good.

Urm Bell got dropped after the West Indies collapse.
since his return to the side he has averaged 69... which is better than Trott and Cook in the same period (shhh don't tell people that, they might realise he is our best player now)

Really well played by Swanny there, knocking the bails off for lunch when there was time for one more over. Great mind games!
