*Official* Third Test at Edgbaston

[Stapel]

And Cook should go for the big 401*

Hey!

Though it is a bit premature to think about 400, before the 300-mark is met, it did cross my mind. This really is a big opportunity for Cook to post a massive innings.

Haha no. The biggest problem facing India is that England are miles and miles and miles better than them at cricket.

We will measure the miles when England play here Cricket is not what is played in England alone, sorry about bringing up facts btw..

If, and it is a big if, England win this Test and go 3-0 up and are guaranteed 1st place in the World rankings will they rest one or two players-- ie Give Tremlett more time to rest, bring Taylor in for debut etc? Or do they go hard for the whitewash?

You don't have to be so PC or pessimissistic.. You guys got this one in the bag.. Innings victory guaranteed

I'd be disappointed if they dont go for the whitewash as a comparative neutral.

It's amazing the amount of leeway Dravid seems to be getting on the forums for his dropped catches. He's been grassing them at the rate of almost one every innings. This is completely unacceptable from an international fielder, and no amount of good batting or good naturedness can make up for it.

The gulf in class has been too large to use conditions as an excuse, IMO.

You mean to suggest he has been Akmalesque?

100% agree with that.
he's been costing more than he's been scoring for a couple of years now.

[Spark]

Don't think he's done yet tbh.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice one Cook, the first 50 were bloody horrid but the rest has been back to ashes/early summer stuff.

 

[four_or_six]

Don't think he's done yet tbh.

How high can he go?

Well batted Cook.

Thoroughly likeable cricketer.
