We need to clone Ian Bell.
It was all looking so promising when we had them 140-something for 5... Another ass whooping coming up!
supposedly 300 isn't a bad score on this pitch either!! it's looked a decent batting pitch so far as well. Obviously that'll change when our lot get out in the middle. (I still don't rate Mitchell Johnson, but unfortunately our batting has looked shot)

School nativity dress rehearsal today is going to have a really pissed off narrator.
Commentators on SKY and TMS were saying that Cook's captaincy shows no urgency/incision or willingness to try something different

But there were only 2 fielders within 50 yards of the bat. Just means that batsmen can fluff a shot with no consequenceCos I know loads about captaining a test side and all that
