Fair play, good ball.

Well played Cook.

Harris WAG.

 

[Furball]

Cook

Take a bow lad.

 

[King Pietersen]

Been a good over from Harris. Has KP in trouble with the short stuff, and has now nipped Cook out. Superb stuff from Cook though, another brilliant knock. Bell in at 5 please.

Cook's series average takes a dive - now below 400.

Not sure I can stay awake if Colly gets in

 

[Noble One]

Well done Harris. The only bowler who has been both threatening and able to keep a lid on things.

 

[four_or_six]

Go put your feet up Cookie.

 

[Jacknife]

Well played Cooky, pity you couldn't get the double again.

About ****ing time

Harris is a pretty good bowler IMO - good lines and sharpish

With a bit of luck he could have had a few more as well

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Shame he didn't get to 150 but job done by Cook. Been a superb knock, let the others smash it to all parts of Adelaide now and really rub it in. Good ball by Harris to be fair.

 

[Woodster]

Definitely worth a bit of short stuff against KP, if he does start getting hold of them with the short square boundaries, then change plans. He does sometimes look vulnerable as he constantly comes onto the front foot, and does pull/hook off the front foot. At times he will take it on and it does give the bowlers a chance.

Cook gone, wow, what's he playing at ? Poor, poor batting, get him dropped!!!

 

[Spark]

Deserved that did Harris. What a knock from Cook.

 

[JBH001]

****

KP to follow soon, IMO.

Edit/ Well played, Cook. Top knock.

 

[GIMH]

Colly averages 228 at this ground IIRC

 

[superkingdave]

Oh dear, now we have to be subjected to Collingwood.

 

[Howsie]

Harris is a pretty good bowler IMO - good lines and sharpish

Australia's best bowler IMO.

 

[Briony]

Expected a bigger celebration from KP there. Well done to him for keeping it relatively restrained, he still knows there's work to be done.

Supreme knock too by the way. Only that one false shot first off to Doherty and since then never looked remotely in trouble.

Maybe a realises it's not a huge achievement making a ton against these pie chuckers. At least they've played him into form. No doubt he enjoys the flat Adelaide pitch.

Cricket watching hell - Cook, Trott and Colly

Eng's tactics of boring us to sleep are really paying dividends
