Ahh, and plumb. Cook used to do that all the time; looks so bad.

Speaking of the pitch, whether anyone thinks there was really much in it for the bowlers or not, was anyone else thoroughly disappointed (and surprised) with Holding's comments stating that he believes ODI pitches should have very little, or nothing, in it for the bowlers?
Was astounded itbt. Especially coming from a former bowler.

Garbage dismissal from Cook. If England don't win this they need shooting.

His head fell completely over to the off side and he couldn't see the ball when he played the shot. It's something he used to do quite a bit before he corrected it (which resulted in the opposite problem of nicking off defending way outside off for a while). Every so often you still see it creep into his game but he's largely eliminated it.

Is this R P Singh? Who's this left-armer bowling at a nippy pace? Have I stepped on a time machine by mistake?

I knew you'd sort me out on the technical side of the dismissal mate.

I thought what he was saying was nonsense, particularly as the weather conditions just combined for todays morning, and it's the Oval FFS, not any type of minefield. India couldn't play a little bit of seam and swing, boo-hoo.

Yeah it was complete nonsense; you might as well just wheel out a bowling machine if you're going to insist on no assistance for the bowlers.

Athers is lucky he never had to face him with ball in hand, so to speak.

Yes it did, I like Holding but he talks bollocks when it comes to road pitches for ODi's.

Yeah, he was actually pretty decent in his last stint and some of the bowlers picked ahead of him for this series are clearly rubbish at the moment but he's a bowler I've never really had any time for at all so I don't think there will be too many tears from fans if he just disappears.
And a drop off Jadeja. MOTM - telling you.

Holding and Atherton are my favourite commentators, so if Atherton had agreed with him my whole world would've come crashing down. Didn't let me down though.
