Just mentioned on TMS, that there has not been a single half-century by any opening batsman in this series, so far. Last 8 chances, in this game - it has NEVER happened for the entirety of a five match series.
Had the offer of a pair of sponsors' tickets for today - but only on Wednesday evening, by which time it was utterly impossible for me to wangle the day off work. Always the ****ing same :angry:
Would have loved to be there today, too - Cook's last bow, etc.
