you score, if you've seen off roughly 240 balls, job done. It's up to the dashers to build on your foundations.

And a young one, in his first test in India?

Against a world class bowler with a very unorthodox, un-English style, again.

Basically, I'm just trying to say that I'm fücking gutted, but don't blame him. Had that been peak form Cook, I'd have been shouting abuse because I know he's better than that.

However, last time we played in Chennai, we were 3 down at the end of the first day. We got to the 3rd new ball, scored 477, but as Shiva's better at cricket than Jesus, my boys scored oodles and won by an innings.

Btw, it's great watching cricket when you support both sides. Makes Aus-Pak a bit of a bügger.
