As I said in recent years the 3 of them have been available to play. Whether Cummins has slowed his pace, or not, he is still always available to play, and pretty fucking good. Which was my point
I'll admit I was surprised just how good their injury records have been over the past 5 years when I looked as all 3 were regularly crocked at the start of their careers. Suppose they aren't bowling that many overs recently as teams can't stay in long enough against them!
I thought the way we overbowled Archer in the New Zealand tour was fucking ridiculous and probably something we should be making sure never happens again.

It's a fair point. Personally, I'd rather lose playing like this than draw playing like that.I don't mind that. If we can't win, don't lose. A draw will be perfectly fine.

But we will win todayI don't mind that. If we can't win, don't lose. A draw will be perfectly fine.

Root on 98; didn't he bag a 99 earlier in the series? Hopefully, that won't be playing on his mind.

He far too professional ,to be effected by something like thatRoot on 98; didn't he bag a 99 earlier in the series? Hopefully, that won't be playing on his mind.
Haga far from it. Sorry if I come across that way. I’m totally not like that. I’m just desperate to win against this lot. I did say it was a genius innings in fairness.Christ, I'd hate to work for you as you must be absolutely perfect...
P.s. just read some of my recent posts. Point taken! Perhaps autistic northern blokes aren’t suited to forums.
He saw an opportunity to get easy runs because the players looked knackered! Like I said though once he got to a ton don’t change how you play! He did he should learn from that!
Alastair Cook used to always talk about ‘Daddy Hundreds’. Mentally he used to think a century wasn’t enough for him. He used to play with the mindset that when he got a 100 then he was only on the way to score 150+.
I think it came from four of his first six centuries he was out for less than 107. After that he went on to make much bigger game changing scores.

I'm assuming that, if they're in a position to do so, they'll claim the extra half hour.It's over, brilliant run chase again from England.
As for 100 overs, there is lots of rain forecast for London tomorrow.
Same could be said for India, actually!

The same Alastair cook who held the record for the most test defeats as captain at 22 tests ?Alastair Cook used to always talk about ‘Daddy Hundreds’.

Getting visions of Woakes coming out to bat with one arm under his sweater.

Brook has scored a 317 but the situation of the game and all that! We are greedy because if it wasn’t for that quick 100 we be far behind and probably a dead cert to a loss
Ponting was a really good captain, not so good when Warne or McGrath couldn't play though.The same Alastair cook who held the record for the most test defeats as captain at 22 tests ?
The "Daddy Hundred" thing came from Gooch at Essex.

I would imagine so but it should be all over, one way or another, before half-sixI'm assuming that, if they're in a position to do so, they'll claim the extra half hour.
