And Alastair Cook destroys the West Indies' bowling on his way to a momentuous 4.

Would have loved to have seen Best get 5 more though

Same here. Would have done easily too, if he'd not gotten anxious. Shame.

I couldn't help thinking though that he got out with exactly the sort of shot that you'd expect from a Windie tail-end batter. Shame indeed.

Pietersen and Bell have steadied it but catching up looks a long way away right now.

[Bruce Rioja]

Off for light again? Floodlights on and the lot? fecking joke. As was mentioned earlier - show me the coffins?

[Dujon]

That's better.

Unless the weather forecast is wrong it looks like the game will peter out to a draw. That is a shame but not the fault of the cricketers - the weather can be a right pain in the neck at times. I've forgotten the number of times a contest at the 'Gabba has been spoiled by monsoon-like downpours which disadvantaged one of the teams involved.

Anyone off to headingley friday? rain permitting

8.24 train to London, one-day ticket in wallet. Lovely!

No one can strike a cricket ball like Chris Gayle. He's been out of international cricket too long and it's great to see him back!

beat the aussies today!

worth a mention!

[Worthy4England]

Indeed - was just waiting for some bugger to find the thread!

Always good beating the Aussies, at anything.

[Worthy4England]

Can't beat the wonderful sound of the Aussies being sent packing again.

[Wandering Willy]

Can't beat the wonderful sound of the Aussies being sent packing again.

Rubbish.

It has been statistically proved that the sound of the ball hitting the back of the net at Old Trafford on 11 Sept 2002 was much more wonderful.

Can't remember who scored.

I might be able to help you there...

[Worthy4England]

Another win for the one day team and fairly convincing. Again.

[Dujon]

What an abysmal performance by the Australian team. I think that Clarke must have lost the plot at some stage - eight bowlers! That, surely, has to be desperation stuff, even if a change bowler is required.

For a supposedly top class team a score of 200 is quite dreadful, particularly if the opposition reels in that figure with only two wickets down. Congratulations to the England team for a pretty decent demolition job on the Aussies.

Oh Lancashire...

Dear lord. I mean, really. From champions to this...

[Puskas]

63 all out.

Sixty-effin-three.

I mean, really. That's Wanderers levels of bad.

Has Peter Moores been secretly replaced by Owen Coyle?

Don't, repeat..don't, write a poem about that.
