U19 Captain
Great story on Sky yesterday about Everton Weekes. He holds the record for 5 cosecutive centuries, and in game 6 he was run out on 90. S**t happens.

Looks like he should be wearing a Levellers tee-shirt with a mangy dog on a string shouting "Big Issue!", tbh.

I'm thinking Dick Dastardly.

Cook is very special. He gets too little appreciation, I reckon. He's 26, has been playing Test cricket for 5 years, has nearly 5500 runs, and has been scoring them consistantly, at a healthy 1000 runs per year.
I have no doubt that only time is needed for him to be named in the same lines as Tendulkar, Ponting, Kallis and Sangakkara.
As for his 6th consecutive 50...., Bell has 5 now!

One of the comms mentioned yesterday, what's possibly most impressive about Cook's 6 consecutive fifties is that he's the only opener in there. Barrington, Dexter & Hendren all played in the middle order.
Ditto Weekes, Chanders & Sir Andrew.
& lol at Beefy not knwoing what his own trigger movement was. Shows how little he ever had to think about his game.

yep, really hasn't been timing it, as he normally does, and was doing last night. Wonder if it's slightly uneven bounce in the pitch?
Anyway, Dilharo will always help the run-rate.

Sir Ian has admitted himself that thinking was never his greatest asset. In his (auto)biography he refers to himself as "Bungalow"....., as in not much upstairs!

Botham really is a terrible commentator. Reckon I could name about 20 people on CW alone that know more about cricket and would make a better commentator than him.

I kind of understand not bowling him yet today, Morgan will prefer to get set against the spinner. But he seems alright now, so it's a bit late for that.
