Cook was dropped twice last night.. Hardly 'going well' considering the wicket and crap WI

Exactly they need to go big here both of them, the bowling really cant get much worse for test standards.

Seems that most batsmen this series have got rid of the scuff sheets. Probably something to do with hotspot not being there?

I dunno....maybe it's the new trend,maybe some of them read the forum? Trott's looks like he's been filming Hostel 4 and has been using his as an axe.

Anyway we now know scuff sheets do jack diddly. it's retro style back to linseed oil,sand,oil,sand,oil,sand repeat for 25 years

right?

Something I have noticed this afternoon.

From Nasser �Alastair has been watching videos of himself batting a couple of years ago and even beyond that.�

Steve Finn the other day said he had gone away and watched old videos of himself to try and get back his old (better) action (can�t find the exact bit, but it was in those Guardian articles the other day)

I read something from Broad earlier today and for the life of me can�t remember where (possibly BBC but cannot find it now) where he said he had gone away and watched old videos and that lead to him coming through the crease slightly wider, allowing a stronger hip drive and therefore getting faster results.

It might just be coincidence, or is this a new coaching method � ignore what you have been told these last few years and just do what you did when you came though / where good�

Perhaps this is the undoing of micro management of Saker et al?

I always go back and watch videos of my performance. Some of you may recognise my sofa.

Absolutley

spot on.

The England 'team' is too big,too bloated.Unless you take the view the players are thick,they should work it out for themselves.

Not quite 'the coach is there to drive us to and from games(warne)' but we have had far too many advisers off the field in recent years.

I hope it changes

stats tell you everything...

4 50's from cook's last 7 test innings.

Had Phil tuffnel been dropped from tms? He was always one of my favourites.

sleeping bags out, Cook and Trott are settling in for the duration (famous last words).

This would be the logical progression from what they learned with Jimmy around 2006/7. If you're presented with a naturall talented 24 year old who's worked his way to be in the best eleven players in the country without having heard from you, the best thing is... totally change every detail of what they do?

It seems obviously stupid now we know, I hope it is them realising that and I hope they continue.

Trott out - got a bit giddy and tried to play an expansive shot. Should've stuck to nudging it.

Cheque in the post to the Windies to help out with that little India bill ;-)

Alastair Cook such a dud, on a flat road and an average attack, still can't get 100.

Potentially 2 innings left for him in this series. Then he'll get pensioned off by NZ and AUS.

The mentally weak Ian Bell fails another wicket to Gabriel. 3/164
