    Much better from Sri Lanka second innings. Anderson looked knackered at the end.

    England require 78 to win and clinch the series. Great effort by SL to get there, but it'll be over tonight. Only question is, will Cook get five runs or more?

    Job done, for all his slow-paced play he's been an astoundingly good accumulator of runs...

    One of only six batsmen to get to 10,000 test runs, the youngest, the quickest (in terms of deliveries) and the most runs scored whilst England captain.

    Surely the most unattractive batsman to reach that landmark.

    Six and out doesn't make for great players. He may not be the most exciting batsman but you can't deny his ability...

    Six and out??

    He's an ugly grinder imo. Accumulation isn't greatness.

    Piers Morgan, unsurprisingly, has labelled Cook 'the youngest batsman to deny the youngest batsman the opportunity to reach 10,000 test runs'. Still prattling on about his bum-chum KP...

    I know which of the two I would prefer to watch. Graham Gooch, in support of Cook, quoted the other day the old cricketing maxim 'It's not how, it's how many'. Not for me, mate. I much preferred to watch David Gower than you.

    meanwhile, cricket fans applaud him for his achievements...

    I'm not being insulting. You should try it sometime. You'll be amazed how many people you won't piss off that way.

    I find condescending pomposity insulting, and it does piss me off.

    No clue what your issue is. I list Cook's achievements. I say he is not the most exciting player but his ability is beyond question. I mention that cricket fans are applauding him. I say nothing insulting towards you or anyone. Then you call me a "pompous prick" for no reason at all.

    You need to think before you post, stop with unwarranted insults, and calm down.
