    Thought we'd have over a hundred lead, but this has been a series of ups and downs.

    Hope Cook gets a decent score....as do most people...let's hope I haven't kiboshed him.

    Jennings must be one of the worst openers to wear the England shirt a few times.

    Yes, win this one and we'll be virtually safe I reckon, I bet Chilcs is not so happy though!...:)

    It's a shame that Kyle lost his form and Holland was injured, we might've won a few more this season.

    Here’s one for the statisticians: how many times has a batsman playing his last Test innings gone to a century with a 5? <laugh>

    It's a perfect end to a stellar career, we will not see his like again for a long time I reckon.

    The only man in Test history to get both a 50 and a 100 in his first and last Test Matches.

    Hants 12-3 and doing their best to leave a 1st innings deficit!

    Not just one of the worst.

    I believe of all the players to open at least 15 times for England, he has the lowest Test average.

    He's very, very fortunate to be the man in possession at the time of Cook's retirement. I can't see us giving two new openers a go, especially out in Sri Lanka against the turning ball.
