Wasn't it Vijay that put Cook down in Southampton as well?? Blokes gone a long way to saving his career.

Just switched on the TV to check the score. Ballance scoring runs. Cook given a life. Bowlers looking exhausted. Nothing new here.

It was Sir himself

 

[GIMH]

Cook's 12th chance average taking a hammering

 

[grecian]

Horrible cricket, amusing though.

 

[Riggins]

Ashwin to Cook, 1 run, dropped again!, would you believe it. Well, probably yes.

Good from cricinfo.

 

[harsh.ag]

I am not watching this anymore. Going for a drink, or twelve.

 

[CWB304]

Cook threatening to break record for most reprieves enjoyed by a centurion....

 

[Burgey]

The Greatest Allrounder of All
Time looking typically threatening in away conditions here.

 

[Adders]

Ffs

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oh well, he does deserve that though. Now for a Bell masterclass please.

 

[Howe_zat]

Both bowler and batsman deserved that

 

[Howe_zat]

It would have been best for the side if Cook had made a flawless ton, but that wasn't on the cards after the lbw life last night. So best for me is these two batting all day thanks

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Both bowler and batsman deserved that

Yeah, and daft thing was it was probably the hardest chance that gets taken.

 

[GIMH]

Not to sound like Shane Warne but part of me would like to see the RR upped so we can declare tonight or early tomorrow

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Na, grind the buggers into the dirt for another day and a half.

 

[GIMH]

Na, grind the buggers into the dirt for another day and a half.

Yeah probably, no weather worries I suppose.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Also the pitch looks good for batting now and will probably be good tomorrow too so may as well let bowlers wait till it starts to deteriorate before we bowl again.

 

[grecian]

It's not tea on the second day, weather is fine. No real advantages in an early declaration that I can see. Pitch looks good, hope as time goes by it will spin, which is traditional at the Oval.

Moeen to spin 'em out for a nice innings win.

Mind you things can change....

Varun Aaron and MS Dhoni, pearls in a pile of dung.
