Strauss would've been back too, albeit rather spawnily as he'd done nowt to justify his recall in his absence.
Had to get a big daddy ton in the last test of the NZ tour to save his career, as I recall. 191, maybe?

He does but I get the impression that we don't see a lot of it on the basis of us been English.

Trouble is they have bowled more bad balls here than in the previous tests and the bats have put them away for 3 or 4. Eases the pressure on them.
You think Indian media figures go after Dhoni like some English ones do with Cook? I find that very difficult to believe.

I don't follow Indian media much but he's had stones thrown at his house sooo

"Sitter" maybe overstates it, but should've been held.
Indian lines haven't been as good as they've been first coupla tests. Either too wide or too straight.

Well, Burgey thought one Harbhajan incident was enough to put the "etc." next to.. He is just following the forum seniors, I guess
Did those stones have criticisms of negative captaincy written on them? I am not talking about him never being put under pressure or being criticised - he is the Indian captain there isn't a more pressure filled job in cricket, was talking specifically about negative captaincy.

Think we've witnessed what Mrs Cook sees bearing down on her when he's approaching the Billymill roundabout.

Slip catches, apart from top edges that balloon into the air, are hardly ever sitters. Sure enough, chances like Jadeja's are taken more often than they are wasted, but not even the best slip fielders take 'm all.
Which makes me wonder: are there any good statistics on succesful slip catch percentages?

If he was a righty and couldn't bat he'd be playing club cricket

I said this last game.. But we are playing Cook into form.. And you cant just drop 5 catches in the slips over 2 tests and 1 day of this one and expect to get away with it. Fully expect a daddy ton from Cook and a big first innings batathon from England.. And please God, if it is going to be a batathon, please please please let me watch Bell, Moeen and Butler.. Watching these two can be excruciating, as well as they are playing..
But with our luck, it would be these two with the daddy hundreds
