..... as Root gets beaten four in row.....

would've been fine if he got forward, except for that last one probably

..... as Root gets beaten four in row.....

You think they are more difficult then? Joe Root has shown he will get beaten outside off on roads.

noooo holding

 

[benchmark00]

That is a ****ing corker.

Cook has started well here. That's the importance of getting to a quick start. It's absolutely vital as it eases your mind and prevents you from cramping and eventually getting out. Once he gets 30 odd and has a few runs on the board, he can settle down and take more time (not too much though).

 

[Spark]

Holy ****, what a ball

 

[morgieb]

**** yeah, nice delivery!

 

[Spikey]

[ajdude]

[uvelocity]

 

[Burgey]

Yep. She's a real road.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Root.....

 

[Daemon]

***y delivery. Top class.

 

[Maximas]

my sister: "was that spin or fast bowling"

me: "both I think"

 

[Spikey]

like i know that ball was awesome and all, but it's just another innings that has left me wondering how (and why)

 

[Howe_zat]

Cook 11 from 14 balls. Wow.

Well it's only 11 so you can't really look at strike rate but it is unusual how much he's driven for them this early on. Has twigged that Aus won't be feeding his cut shot any more I guess.

Ah. Good nut.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Root a complete putz against a new ball.

 

[NUFAN]

Lovely shot Root.
