England v Pakistan 2nd Test, Old Trafford

[MacAdder]

Not imposing the follow on is ridiculous. It's all about taking twenty wickets. Having said that I'm more concerned with events at Taunton. Ingram just out.

You are right, winning a test match is all about taking 20 wickets. Where would we be without the voice of cricket?
Cooke got it spot on. With 2 days left, no need to put any kind of pressure on your bowlers. If wickets fall, good insight into what's going on for the 4th innings.

"..."Ridiculous"...

I see Boycott is still trying to justify his OTT criticism of Cook's decision.

'We could have won in 3 days'...

Sort of stuff you'd expect from a guy who never bowled and was an unpopular and unsuccessful captain !

I sometimes wonder if he's a bit jealous of Cook, likeable , better to watch, happy and smashing Boycotts batting records whilst still looking about 12 😄

I've seen Boycott bowl he used to bowl with his cap turned around

I sometimes wonder if Boycs says things just for comedy / shock value.
Your quintessential Yorkshireman. Very opinionated and skin like a rhinoceros.
Never been wrong in his life.

I love test match cricket

he would have been first to moan if Pakistan had dug in against a tiring attack, especially with Stokes getting injured.

The Aussies have shown the way with this, win the psychological war and you win the game
