Prior? When did he lead the English side? I think Maddy was referring to the 'Leading from the front' thing.

Steven Waugh was once stranded on 99 when his partner (Mcgrath?) was run out.
Our own Ganguly too got out at 99 against the same side. Dhoni is the captain/keeper with most 90s IIRC.
Trott has finally made a century
Bell has finally come good
What more can I ask for. Thoroughly thoroughly satisfying :lol2:
Match out of India's hands.
IMO Dhoni should be sacked for tests as Captain. Let him continue for one dayers and T20s. Once he becomes another player in the team, his batting performance will be assessed seriously and he will have the challenge through others like Dinesh, Saha etc. Even Utthappa is trying to be a keeper/batsman . He can be given chance. Poor guy , not getting his chances unlike Raina, Rohit ( the eternal IPL specialist ).
Ok , we lost in England and Australia but losing at home is something which MSD is answerable / accountable for which he should voluntarily step down . These things can happen only in Srilanka where the captains take moral responsibility. Srilankan cricketers like Sanga, Mahela etc show remarkable maturity while accepting losses and resign ! India should learn from them. I think except India, no other country is dealing with the captains like this unique way !
The question to Dhoni should be : Is he really inspiring his team mates as a Captain( for tests ) ? Just this 99 doesnt absolve him from the losses.
Ashwin may face some pressure for not being consistent at home .
The Galle century and this one. What a difference in situations!
Ian Jonathan Leonard - :clap:
Trott is one of the top players today having performed exceedingly well in Australia and other teams. England's success down under was mainly attributable to Trott and Cook. India should thank its stars that he didnt perform the way it was expected. IMO, Trott will be top 5 player for atleast next 3-5 years.
Trott didn't do well against SA and WI at home.
That fighting hundred in Galle was memorable. That apart, this year wasn't that good for him compared to the last.
He indeed is a very good player. niRaiya edhirpArkkuREn.
Cook - Stop boring us to death. Declare the innings I say!
Our batsmen are ready to give it a go!!!! :happydance:
