Curran and Bess both look like they know how to hold a bat

 

[LD19SAFC]

Cook 154 not out!

 

[Safc_Luke]

Cook 154 not out!

I bet he didn't even break sweat!

Much needed runs for Malan too.

£100 cook does not score 35 test tons

When that was made it would have made him above tendulkar, ponting, kallis, etc etc as the greatest ever ton maker

To be as close as he is still amazes me

He’s gonna get there

Think so

I think he is planning to bow out next summer

It will be form dependant. He’s only 33

I just get the feeling that next summer post ashes will see Anderson and cook leave the scene.

All to be seen

Anderson definitely. Broad possibly too.

Cook will depend on his form (which has felt patchy for about 5 years), and whether we have much to replace him

Jesus, we're in trouble when Broad and especially Jimmy jack it in

 

[Ageing trundler]

Bowlers will come through, they always do. The 2021 test attack could be Woakes, Porter, Stokes, Stone and Leach and we could be on here waxing lyrical about them!

 

[The Rat]

Canny team that put out by England, think they got the picks right, Porter can imagine taking place of Broad or Jimmy.

The interesting thing for me is Malan or Pope
