Alastair Cook's 5 Over CENTURY

[Mendoza]

A true captains innings that tried to prevent a draw

Oh wait, he was bowling

Cook vs Bangladesh A
5-0-111-0

What an R-Tard. When his first 3 overs went for more than 50 I bet he kept thinking"Just one more"

I shudder to think that that pillock is going to be England captain one day.

The batting figures for Choudhry and Mahmud are amazing.

He was bowling like that to get a declaration out of Bangladesh A so the team could get some more batting time before the first test. He wouldn't be doing that in a competitive match.

Fair play, looks like I'm the r-tard.

Still think the bloke's a pillock and pretty far from captain material.

Cook's bowling was so good, straight down the middle and really really slow!

It must have been comedy. In this day and age it's pretty unusual to find a player that can't even turn his arm over - in this situation teams often bring their wicketkeeper out from behind the stumps to have a go - but luckily England had two in the outfield; Cook and Carberry. What heroes.

Murray Goodwin once got 150 for Sussex in something like 50 deliveries under not dissimilar circumstances.

Really bending his back there!

His action is comedic.

Carberry 4-0-78-0

Not quite so impressive.

The stupid and unfortunate thing is we weren't even set an achievable target.

That wasn't really the aim though, as the game didn't even have first class status. The main goal was to let a few people have a bat again, although KP still managed to mess that up!
