Yes, but you always say that.

Cook's twelfth opening partner since Strauss retired. He's obviously a jonah :-\

Still think Hales should be given a crack at it. He's in the form of his life.

Hopefully our Surrey chap will step up today though

Lovely ball, tbf. Clipping the top of off. Can't say fairer than that.

Could give Hales a go at three imo. Certainly worthy of another chance given his form.

My big objection to the pink ball so far is that it looks utterly fùcking silly. :-(

I've surely missed something; why is the ball pink? Is it that Glenn McGrath thing again?
