Every Test Match is important, I would never call one irrelevant

 

[Precambrian]

Haha no it won't. It's an irrelevant century in a match that doesn't matter against a team bowling exceptionally badly. I expect Cook, with the best temperament in the England team, to score many more valuable centuries over his career.

Very easy to dismiss. It's a 5th day pitch, 4th innings and a tricky target. Any 4th innings century is brilliant as far as am concerned. Take it from a die hard Tendulkar fan.

It's really only a 4th day pitch incidentally. And it's against a team with a very weak spinner, although he is admittedly bowling reasonably well. Rather than to take something away from this innings, i'll say that over his career he simply has to make several much more valuable and difficult scores than this one.

Agree

Hahaha. Jinxed!

In the 60s, again

 

[TT Boy]

Cook sure does love getting out in the 60s.

Wonder if Bell will bottle it (even with the game being over)?

Here comes an average-boosting, very pretty 40 not-out.

 

[jammay123]

that was a poorer bell dismissal than the usual poor bell dismissal.

 

[jammay123]

and strauss gone. the collapse begins

It's about time bowlers starting getting people out bowled past their legs. This habit of walking a good metre across the stumps to outside off is getting a bit annoying.

 

[grecian]

ffs, we can't lose this, can we?

 

[jammay123]

we can but we probably wont....hopefully

 

[Perm]

Haha England, how you make me laugh.

Good scores for Strauss and Cook though, both needed a few runs. Pity they couldn't finish the job.

 

[GIMH]

Losing three wickets is no great shame en route to a target of 200, thought we might have been in for a 10-wicket win though

 

[GIMH]

Oh KP

 

[Napier16]

"The genius" can't see his side through like Smith could and get's out to Harris again, positively becoming his bunny.

 

[GIMH]

Flintoff to bring up the win with a six

Haha, gun, can't believe I got a prediction right
