As a fan I love the fact there's lots of cricket, it's the only reason I have sky, but you can't deny that there is too much for the top players to contend with. It's not like the football season, where top players might flight out to europe midweek and bee home the next day. They spend months...

To be honest I thought the comments about Trott weren't that bad. Like Michael Vaughan said after Trott's quick return to cricket, he made a mockery out of guys like Trescothick who were genuinely struggling with mental health issues. Nobody criticised him at the time because he said it was a...

The point I was making was not that Cook did the same thing as Dhoni, which appears to be the confusion. The point I was making is that regardless of how it came out England were unhappy about the Australian sledging, and there were suggestions that Australia had crossed the line, yet Anderson...

Actually now I think about it might have been the comments about Trott that they said had crossed the line, but even still same principle.

England didn't play it down. Cook was in the press saying they'd crossed a line.

I'm really torn on this, because I do think the England team are capable of crossing the line, and when you hear some of the stuff Anderson said about threatening to knock his teeth out thats not right. England certainly didn't think so when Clarke wanted to break Andersons arm last year. But on...

I understand, the thought of it has been making me feel queasy for months.

I think Cook is obviously going to be in charge for the rest of the series and this game has given him some breathing space. If we end up losing the series he'll undoubtedly come under the spotlight again, but if we go and win and especially if we play like we have in this test then he'll have...

That was a great win. Let's hope we can follow it up and win the series. It would be a great foundation to build on with the Ashes in mind next year.

I'd be interested to see the scorecard of any test match where that's happened.

Brilliant commentary on TMS. Talking about what you shouldn't feed dogs, chocolate, blue cheese and coffee, Tufnell replies ,"What's the point to a dogs life if they can't eat that"

There are times to enforce the follow on, but this isn't one of them. Exactly like you say, batting again is essentially taking the possibility of losing out of the equation. And like Titanic put it, if we can't set a score and bowl them out on 5th day wicket then we were never going to win it...

I think it's a decent decision to bat again. The feeling is the pitch is only going to get worse, so we definitely don't want to put ourselves in a position we could lose by letting them get ahead and then having to bat on bad track. If we treat it like a 50 over game, go out and get 170 to 200...
