think matthew maynard got out like that in the late 80's at a lords final, his helmet/cap falling off and knocking off the bails.

Bravo looks seriously injured here.

It just gets worse for the Windies

Bugger. Bad news for Bravo. Ankle looks to have given way.

Yeah, nasty. Hope he's OK.

There's some famous old footage of Len Hutton's cap being knocked onto his stumps by Lindwall and not dislodging the bails.

Hutton went on to play a series-winning hand, too.

Haha. Reminds me of this tbh.

Finest moments?

That time he bowled Kevin Pietersen with a giant head at Lord's ranks pretty highly for mine.

Looks like the england batsmen have got a bit more energy about them now, Must have had orders. Declaration with an hour to play?

Oh, and Cook averages over 50 now

 

[simmy]

Poor old KP. lol.

 

[grecian]

Cook even playing off-side shots, will wonders never cease

 

[steds]

Ultimate insult to Dave Mohammed that Chanderpaul has bowled 102 more overs in Test cricket than him.

 

[grecian]

Cook, ton up, good on the lad.

 

[pasag]

Cook 100!

My favourite player at the moment to be perfectly honest. I love his attitude and he has skills.

Like nunchuck skills?

 

[steds]

He could score a bit quicker...

No need. With KP, Prior, Vaughan and soon to have Freddie in the side.. I think his anchor role is perfect.

Collingwood is the real boring bat, not Cook imo.

The only thing you can really fault with Cook at the moment is not his scoring rate, but the fact that he has scored 5 tons with a top score of 127.

Hopefully that will change today.

vaughan>>>>>the rest

Collingwood's natural ability is fairly limited in comparison with Cook, though.

I like Collingwood, because he's a fighter. Cook strikes me as a bloke who could be more aggressive if he could be bothered.

Hmm, perhaps not the greatest timing for that comment, but generally I agree with you.

I like watching Cook and Bell, they're both elegant IMO. As said before though, Vaughn is the best by far to watch.
