    Cooky is not the most exciting player, but he bats with such assurance.

    Of all the other test teams I enjoy success over India the least. Their boundless passion for cricket is something very special and I (nearly) always want to see them succeed.

    Destined to be one of the all time great Test batsmen. Also seems to have a very good personality for an opener + captain.

    I also like India and Indian cricket in particular - but i still enjoy it when England does well against them. Had some great cricketing discussions when working with Indians in the Middle East, and i like to see them do well against teams other than us. The crowds are a bit disappointing this series - the Indian public seems to be hooked on the IPL now, which i can understand, but they always supported Test cricket big style so the half empty standium's do surprise me.

    Was worried that Cook would not cope with the captaincy but he's thriving on it!

    I can see England returning to the top of the world rankings before too long. Cook is in brilliant form, KP is back and playing well and England have been bowling very well.

    Thing is it's not just women that were harmed in this, some victims of these BBC 'legends' were men. I just don't know how it all covered up, specially with the numbers involved. They must have had help from some where?.

    That's be honest these people aren't even men, they are monsters that lived off their names and did whatever they wanted. To label them men is a insult to men like me.

    For a lot of Indians it comes down to price, they simply can't afford test cricket tickets which have gone up now that English fans go everywhere these days. Now they have the IPL I guess they save up what money they have got to watch that.

    Four Four Two's top 100 footballers: http://imgur.com/a/0olFJ#4lVVK

    The order of some of them is a little strange (Antonio Valencia higher than the likes of Robben and Gotze) but all in all I think it's a good list.

    Valencia is above so, so many players that are better than him, they must love Valencia at four four two.

    It doesn't matter how "pretty good" he was, could you honestly say he was better than any of the players OTB listed?

    I never said he was and no, but I do think he deserves to be on the list somewhere.

    Possibly Marcelo, I don't really rate him.

    Is that a picture of Ron Paul I see?

    File not found? Fine I'll compile my own list, based on what I know and the player stats from PES 09...
