Two nice shots by Captain Cook. Need to at least get a decent score here and give the team something to cling to for the remainder of the series no matter how small the crumb of comfort may be.
I'd be amazed if we don't lose 4-0 to be honest as we just can't play spin at all but it would be nice to see certain players have learnt and found a way of playing through the series instead of doing what we did in UAE and India did in England and Australia by starting badly and getting worse as time goes on.

Lol.
Imagine Denis found better use for his than mere micturation, tbf.
His grandson does at least share his illustrious forebear's good looks tho, if that's not too metrosexual a comment, so maybe he cuts a similar swathe with the fairer ***.

Zaheer must be wondering why he stayed after the innings break.

Helps to pass the time in the west country, as they say.

Fell of the radar after Bell and co took him to the cleaners in England. Everything that has happened since only shows how much he was not up to it.

Dropped way down the pecking order; even got dropped from his Ranji side at one point recently IIRC? Seems to be more successful with the bat than the ball of late regardless.

Well he captained against us in one of the warm up games and hardly bowled at all. Probably planned to not give us any practice against decent spin but seems well down the pecking order now.

Nah seriously, this wasn't funny the first time and it's definitely not funny this time. **** off with it.Denis Compton will be turning in his grave watching Nick bat again

I wonder how India will play it regarding wicket preparation if we do bat way better but still lose. They'll probably plump for avenging the 0-4 last summer. I certainly hope we don't see a re-run of 1981/82 with tracks as dead as can be after the result in the first test.

Denis, like all champions, was cremated instead of buried anyway.
