Bethell is worrying me here. Suddenly 56 runs to win looks a long way away. .

And the longer he continues to crawl along, the more risk they have. Of more overs of the new ball to clean us out.

 

[jimharri]

I would imagine so but it should be all over, one way or another, before half-six

My bad. I should have included "and need to".

Root man we said all we can about him he is some player!

Root man we said all we can about him he is some player!

His third century in the fourth innings of a test match (no England batsman has more to his name). Arguably, the best test batsman in the world at the moment, shirley?

Root man we said all we can about him he is some player!

In the last 20 tests he's averaging 70 with 9 centuries.

Will make a mockery of the records if he can keep this form up another year.

Ponting was a really good captain, not so good when Warne or McGrath couldn't play though.

The "Daddy Hundred" thing came from Gooch at Essex.

Correct from thw Gooch Flower times , Cook himself gave him that credit

He is ranked 1 , brook 2

YOUR BOYS TOOK ONE HELL OF A BEATING (may have gone a bit early with this one)

Come on boys!!

Different gravy Joe Root. Brilliant player.

 

[jimharri]

In the last 20 tests he's averaging 70 with 9 centuries.

Will make a mockery of the records if he can keep this form up another year.

Can he overhaul Tendulkar? He's 34 now, and needs roughly another 2,500 runs.

[wattle]

[waspish]
