Well obviously if we are facing 600 (looks likely) then Cook or Root have to get a good score. Can't be 40-3 again but if we were say 200-3 then the guys coming in lower down can still play their normal game as we won't be so far behind. A lot depends on our top order getting us off to a start for a change.
Yeah, this England aren't a team that routinely bats out time on flat pitches. It's why I think the curator hasn't done them any favours here.
Of course they did, you don't get daddy hundreds on any track by not batting well no matter how flat it may be. The Warner dismissal and Clarke innings have highlighted even more how well the pair have played.
soon to be only the 3rd Aussie to get 2000 runs and 200 wkts...Richie Benaud and Shane Warne the other 2
haven't seen anyone say that it wasn't once
Yeah just 400
Well they should have seen enough of him over the years to find a workable plan to him. Marsh and Nevill are a different thing as far as tests are concerned.
Could tee off against Moeen but needs to get the eye in first
