4th Test: England v India at Southhampton Aug 30-Sep 3, 2018

Cook took some nice catches, fielded well. I mean, it doesn't sound like much but fielding well was enough to make Gary Pratt internationally famous....

god I hope he plays in the 2019 ashes, easier wicket than Warner for the poms

Except knowing our luck we'll lose nine bowlers to injury and he'll score four million runs against Joe Mennie, Daniel Worrall, Scott Boland and Michael Beer

Anthony McGrath and Ian Blackwell very unlucky there.

Holy moly bringing back some memories there with Anthony McGrath.

I was a huge Yorkshire fan back in England as a kid in the days when Darren Lehmann would absolutely carve up every 2nd innings at least.

He was ably supported by the likes of a young Michael Vaughan, McGrath, David Byas, Hoggard and another god bit parter in Gavin Hamilton.

I used to keep up to tabs on the scores via teletext - the only way at the time lol

 

[Tommy Smith]

As are the likes of Jimmy Ormond, Richard Dawson, Ed Smith, Gareth Batty, Kabir Ali, Rikki Clarke, Martin Saggers, Shaun Udal, Samit Patel, Scott Borthwick, and Adam Lyth

Lol Rikki Clarke.

You must have some serious dark recesses in your mind in which to store that plodder.

Joe Root
Ben Stokes
Ronnie Irani
Moeen Ali

12th man: Dominic Cork

Time to stop picking imposter batsmen and go "full bit part cricketer" genius. It seems to be our strength.

Embrace your Vettori era NZ destiny, England.

You need to get Allan Mullally into that attack.

 

[hineyrulz]

Martin Bicknell FTW!!

 

[Bazal]

Lol Rikki Clarke.

Lol I have a head for useless trivia. Unfortunately I seem to lack the same memory for things that actually matter, like maths.

Justin Langer is coach now.

So it will be Joel Paris, Jason Behrendorff, Ashton Agar and Simon Mackin and any other WA plodders he can think of.
