Thank God for the Yorkies. Another 50 for Joe.
Not seen enough of Jennings which tells you everything
I wonder what England would give to another Sir Geoffrey at the top of the order? There doesn't seem to be many TEST match batsmen anymore,down to how much limited overs is played.199-9 and Vaughny's just said England have batted pathetically today. UTCB

Most of it is down to one day cricket Rod and the Australian team under Ponting added to it by scoring quickly to put pressure on their opponents from the off ( a good tactic). That's also fuelled the consideration for 4 day tests
The problem is that most teams now try the same REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION and conditions, which is brainless unless you possess the ability of someone like Joe and, as we know, there's not many like him about.
He keeps re-writing the record books but one he might live to regret is that he's wasted so many opportunities to go from 50+ to over a 100
Sir Geoffrey is livid with England's batting,by the sounds of what's gone off,he's right,as he usually is
