The Jennings wicket is absurd. It's almost as if he's never seen a cricket ball before. Boys mind is scrambled.

I don't know what you are trying to suggest Vintage old boy, that he is clearly an experienced batsman or that his test record isnae very good? Take that initial ton away and his avg is paltry as fu(k (17.9).
89-6

His concentration is in question for a top order batsman.
One century, and one half century (the same innings, of course), and an average of 23.16 is more Chris Tavare than Marcus Trescothick or Graham Gooch, although at least Tavare's slow and dull accumulation at least meant he was holding up an end for a shotmaker to nudge the total along, and bore the fielders into torpor.

Agreed, he just looks lost at this level.
Point of order re cricket stats:- once you reach your ton, it replaces your fifty. For example Jennings ton was in mumbai, his fifty was in chennai.

Gotcha.

Very good interview with Gooch, looking at the batting issues, on Radio 4 right now (0727).

Fit did he say? Probably something like "Well since you sacked me and employed Ramps, but it's so gratifying to leave you wallowing in the mess you've made. You're screwed, thank you, bye.
