Very nice knock from him today, kept a cool head, and played some great shots.

About time the waster got it right, I'd have dropped him a long time ago!

I dont think Vaughan will play test cricket again and the same goes for Simon Jones.I also think Frddie Flintoff will continue to get injuries bowling fast and as Jack Bannister so rightly said when you get Freddies sort of injury it will not go away

Another century from Ian Bell third in a row.No substitute for class and he has it in abundance.
Also well done Chris Read who should have been back in the side yonks ago and at last we have a spinner in Monty who can actually spin the ball,things are indeed looking up.
I would also stick with Mahmood who has real pace and very young

Cannot agree with Chris Read, John. First they say Geriant Jones is in for his batting and will suffer his glove work, but when he produces with the gloves, which he has consistently this year, especially the second test.....they drop him!! Every batsman has bad spells.
But more worringly, watching Chris Reads feet movement against the Pakistanis, he will get taken apart by the Aussies. Despite his runs today I think he has a real fundamental flaw with his positioning which will be really exposed down under.
I coach cricket and I was very surprised, and worried, at what I saw.

I admit that Jones actually got better behind the stumps but he was always liable to drop someone on 5 and then allow him to make a hundred.
I have to be honest i have never liked Jones behind the stumps and Read has always been regarded by the experts as the best gloveman.
Jack Bannister has been particular scathing on Jones keeping as have a few SKY commentators. I just hope Read gets the 31 test that Jones has had

I have bowled at test and county players and the last thing I wanted to see is my 'keeper putting catches down.
If Read can average in the 20s with the willow then he should be in the side.
If people like Younis and Yusif offer a half chance you must take it or it can cost you hundreds. That's a lot of runs to owe the team.
Jones' glovework has improved, but he has looked shot with the bat. He still dives infront of slip to balls he doesn't get near to.
As for coaching, footwork ect I say it's how many not how.
K.P would have got laughed out of town by some coaches playing the way he does, but he doesn't do too bad.
