Where is Cook's leadership in the last 80 minutes.

			England threw away a huge chance today, hope they don't end up regretting it.

			The advantage is still with us imo, they have to bat last and they've had all the luck so far

			The Trott dismisal was incredible. Erasmus should be dropped for making such a ridiculous decision, it could end up being very costly for England. But i do think we are in a good position, i think batting last will be tough, especially against Swann.

			Being 15 ahead with 8 wickets left Shadow is not exactly a good position in my humble opinion.
