cook is always like this at the start of his innings

he made his first 20 runs at a run a ball in the last test before any of the bayliss comments about being positive

over 4 an over, Bayliss will be saying "see what I mean guys, that's what I want from you all."

Jennings plays forward with his feet but not with his bat, the spinners will love that technique.

Umpire's call. Cue a dozen outraged emails to cricinfo.

I'm not bothered by things like this, anyone who is qualified should be selected. But former SA U19 captain Jennings seems to be getting an easier ride than a few other qualified players got. From people who are bothered.

Another opening partner to have outscored Cook to have been dropped...

Just waiting for Jennings to score a four so I can add him to the list.
