Its disgusting, that's what it is....

I thought Cook's dismissal was a bit ****e. He seems to be playing that a long way ahead of himself.
If you can trust the bounce, have a good enough eye and the bloody thing's not going to deviate, you can just play on length and get away with it.

Trescothick, after all, had a decent test career by simply planting his foot straight down the wicket and just thumping the bloody thing.

Cook's always a candidate for that if you can get the ball in the right place early in his innings.
