England win the toss and elect to bat And there cook goes again! 22 for 1 Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: london_red on Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 11:02:26 Feel bad for Cook. Think he's a good player but in a horrible rut this summer. Hopefully he finds away to get his confidence back before the Ashes.
Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 13:15:45 I'm not 100% convinced he will be there for the Ashes, to be fair. He's starting to look like the weak link. Great player, but he needs to show an upturn in form before the selectors pick the squad. Mid August now...so time is running out.
Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: london_red on Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 13:24:48 Who is there to take his place though? Carberry? Lumb? County game not awash with quality openers at the moment
Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 13:43:24 There must be some in South Africa
Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 17:33:56 Carberry is the correct answer, but rumours have indicated Trott would open and a middle order batsman would come in, I suppose Bopara.
My office "Ally Cook Sweepstake" was a bit of a dissapointment- I had 11-20!

Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: Nemo on Thursday, August 19, 2010, 17:32:12 Or Bell, presumably Injured, isn't he? In a bit of trouble here, lost Strauss before the close with Pakistan 69 ahead still. We need a couple of hundreds here. Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: Bogus Dave on Thursday, August 19, 2010, 17:35:14 Cook'll ge a score
Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, August 19, 2010, 17:36:05 Typical England. Got too cocky and complacent and it's bitten us on the arse this match.
Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: Foggy on Friday, August 20, 2010, 07:31:12 Typical response from IOB! are you part Dementor? FFS they have played really well in the other 2 tests and are not out of this one yet, give them a chance.
Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: townforever on Friday, August 20, 2010, 07:40:33 Even if Cookie does get a big score, I'm still not sure hes the right man for Oz, I can't remember a knock that hes made under pressure, I'm more than likely wrong.
I'm not sure who should take his place as the batting line up is such a locked group that very few have been given a chance to show what they can do. Lets hope he gets a big 150 and makes me eat my own words ! Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: nevillew on Friday, August 20, 2010, 08:48:40 Injured, isn't he?

although If any of the other top 6 fancy turning up, it would be nice Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: Summerof69 on Friday, August 20, 2010, 15:35:58 Old style England collapse straight after tea.

FFS they have played really well in the other 2 tests and are not out of this one yet, give them a chance. Got to play well every game if you want to win a series. Title: Re: England Vs Pakistan 3rd Test Post by: Nemo on Friday, August 20, 2010, 17:59:16 Got to play well every game if you want to win a series. ...That's just clearly bollocks, you can play like absolute dross two games out of five if you play like the 80s West Indian team in the other three. Fancied Cook to get 100 today, made a bit of money off my team on it at work but I wish I'd popped down Ladbrokes! |
