Cook you muppet , why did you do that ? What a gift wicket . One more and I'd say oz are back on top .

Starcs on fire!

And root doesn't look too happy, sat there saying in his head 'cook you muppet '

Starcs pace seems back up again .

Hazelwood had taken only 3 wickets in the last 5 test matches. Now he opens with Cook's wicket in second innings. Vince has also kicked the bucket. 2 for Hazelwood in the second innings.

Absolute tit

I'm gonna say it, and I know I'll get shot down, but I think cooks eyes have gone

Arrrrrggggghhh

I saw this post before you added the bit about him losing his eyes , so you must have thought about it for a bit and the impulse/feeling was too strong. Not agreeing or disagreeing but I'm interested in what makes you think that ?
He's only 32 , im 39 and legally blind without glasses but manage to face 80odd mph reasonably ok for an old bugger ....so if his eyes are gone its very young for that to happen .

England 2/-9 . Oz back on top . Our fair weather crowd is starting to perk up a bit too . Root needs to do a Smith here .

Root just took a nasty blow on the helmet from starc . He looks ok though . Helmet might not be in the best nick however .
Awesome delivery , really cramped him up . Now that the pitch is quickened up a touch id expect a lot more of this . Root will be in for a real workout here . Good time to lead from the front .

What am I missing with Ball. Spent all summer leaking runs in ODI�s without ever looking much of a threat. Today�s and yesterday he pretty much did the same, just with a red ball.

Did Cook also get a nasty one from Starc? I saw Root get a bouncer from Starc which rattled his helmet. He seems to have replaced the helmet though.

I've got dodgy eyes too, long story

I think, at this level, the eyes have to be perfect when your used to picking the ball up at this pace
And Cooks a very good player of pace
I've noticed with his fielding too, he's been late on catches

I really really hope I'm wrong as I've loved watching him bat, and we need a world class opener

Cool , I'll watch him in the slips a bit closer, and try to notice what youve seen .

Cummins looks good atm . He's given stoneman the hurry up and hit him on the chest a couple times . Stoneman looks so calm though , its like his default batting temprament is set to 'valium' mode .

Awesome day of cricket . Really intense . I feel like harnessing my inner Richie Benaud : " marvellous . Super stuff that ".
