    Mark Wood really looks like a dangerous and effective fast bowler

    and yet he isn't. I find this odd.

    The reverse-jinx not working so far.

    Yes. Mind you - like your mum - I do love de Kock.

    Seriously, though, his 50 on Saturday was the highlight of the day's play. Seriously good batsman.

    indeed very puzzling. We need de Kock out really

    He and Amla are sort of quintessentially un-South African batsmen, aren't they? Alma's all great technique and elegant strokeplay, while de Kock is aggressive, but classy run-a-ball shenanigans. Gary Kirsten must be turning in his crypt.

    yes - almost looking forward to watching them if I have to in a couple of weeks. As opposed to our brave boys. Saturday at the Oval. It will probably rain

    I actually became quite angry watching Cook, Jennings and Ballance poke about dismally against a depleted attack on what was still a belting track on a sunny Saturday afternoon in front of a full house as Lord's, every one of whom had paid a significant sum of money to be entertained. It was bloody disgraceful.

    I actually cheered when Cook got out, assuming that some batting might come in. Didn't quite work out like that.
