The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
I'm quite enjoying that every big moment and intense replay has a giant loving zebra head in the background, really adds a bit of gravitas

Considering he's the senior umpire in world cricket he's very good at folding his arms, walking away and going 'nothin to do with me mate' whenever there's a gently caress up like when Dharmasena decided to give James Taylor out in that world cup game.

Looked upper thigh to me. Probably really hurt but it didn't hit him in the bollocks.

Interesting that you are so sure about the size and position of Cooks testicles. You are aware that even a grazing blow will hurt like hell, yeah? Have you ever been hit in the upper thigh by a cricket ball?

I was bowling in the nets when I was about 20 and the ball was driven back and it took one of the posts and reflected back onto my upper thigh. It sure felt like it hit me directly in the balls. Any hit to that area sucks bad.

Hahaha, good to have a debate about Cooks balls.

Yes I have been hit by a cricket ball in the "upper thigh area".

Yes it really really really hurt. I never said it didn't / wouldn't.

When you think about it, it's amazing how many times Cook has lost one of his pegs to a fast inswinger

Watson would've saved this whole discussion by reviewing

edit; and the TV umpire would be asking for "ball-tracking when it's available please"

I am not his biggest fan but Anderson is going to be literally bowled to death on of these days by Cook. I know fast bowlers like to have nice long spells but he just seems to be always bowling.
