Now Prior's gone
Only England to manage to fit a middle-order collapse into such a dominant innings

It's a special skill
I would have thought Bresnan can tonk it if he wants to

Yeah Bres and Broady will be sent in with the same instruction as I imagine Prior was given
Smash it into Stratford. Declaration might not be necessary at this rate.

that'll prevent Cook getting pissed off with Strauss for taking him off after scoring 332

He might run out of partners unless he hits the accelerator
Not that Cook is ever likely to go after decent bowling unnecessarily

let me get this straight before I message my mate
cook is scoring still, but everyone else is getting out?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 12 Aug 2011, 15:44, Reply)

effectively yes
Cook's innings is now the third longest by an Englishman in history

That's what I love about us.
Disaster is always lurking round the corner, ready to pounce at any minute.

You may be joking, but I support Fulham.
So your comment is bang on the money for me.

I think , in their defence
they are just going all out to score as much as they can before tea.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 12 Aug 2011, 15:52, Reply)

Agreed
See my comment above in reply to Ape. I reckon they'll bat until stumps, unless Cook gets out in which case they'll likely declare and have a joust at them this evening.
