When/if Cook gets to 260 it will put his Test innings average at 50 exactly
\o/ and gets there with a four!

He (and Strauss) sure to have Gatt's 333 on his mind, surely?
After that, he'd be itching to chase down Lara's test record 400!
Still quite disappointed that TC is not posting.
Fair enough, the team is losing but it's time to face up to facts not cry in the corner.
Edit - Actually, he hasn't logged on since the 4th Aug so perhaps there are other reasons.
Probably because they've got ages left to bowl India out and both Cook and England are on the verge of a magical total.I don't know why they didn't declare ages ago. India will never get close to 400.
Agreed, they are scoring too slowly for it to not make sense for Strauss to declare. You want a good few overs at the Indian openers in this light, and with a relatively new ball.
666/6
