			At least it gives us a bit of optimism leading up to the Ashes.  Long may it last.  Wish we could back 10 years and have Michael Vaughan et al back.

			Shocking result though, given England had every chance of winning the Test.  Also a bit sad that Beefy's record has been broken.  Should have been Freddie Flintoff to win the record imo.

			Cook owes England 70+ runs before he is in credit, he dropped Samuels when he was on 32.   |

			Given his run of poor form Cook owes England a whole lot more than that.  If he can't do it today you have to wonder when he'll be able to.
