[GIMH mode] Not sure KP's going to be needed to bat and even if he does as one of these 2 retire hurt, not sure he'll have time to get a ton. [/GIMH mode]

He'll get between 40-50. He probably won't be considered one of the greats but he should be.

I suppose it will be affected by the quality of quicks that he'll have to face over the next 8 to 10 years. |

Should get a mod to change the title of the thread.
Great achievement for Cooky, proves he's our best bat now too, IMHO. Certainly will massacre all England records.

Fair play to Captain Cook then. 5 tons in his first 5 tests as captain. Unprecedented, surely?
No Church fans on CW clearly. Thought with a large Aussie demographic someone would've got my allusion.
