Congratulations to Kumar Sangakkara for quickest to 12000 test runs. A superbly entertaining batsman.

A quality player.
On another topic I hope this is the year when Taylor comes to prominence, and Cook and Finn get back to their best.

Sangakarra's innings was a pure gem. 200 on a pitch no other batsman got properly to grips with, against a couple of quality seamers in Boult and Southee.
Kumar has never really had the recognition he deserves in comparison to players like Tendulkar, Lara and Ponting

Easily one of the best batsmen of any era, and showing no signs of slowing down. Considering England have little chance of winning the WC, the romantic in me would want Sri Lanka to do it, considering they've been runners up last two occasions, as well as twice in World T20 with Sangakkara and Jayawardene there.

In fact, averages just under 70 (69.85) when not keeping, which is almost Bradman-esque

Stokes started the Big Bash very well. Hopefully he'll rediscover his form this year, because I think he's potentially a great player.

All the players I've heard talk about Cook since his sacking as ODI captain have basically implied it was the right decision due to form. That's quite unusual really.

See KP is off moaning again. I liked him as a player but I'm getting bored now.

Jonathan Trott has hit his first century in international cricket since leaving the 2013-2014 Ashes series with a "stress-related illness".
Trott, 33, was unbeaten on 176 at stumps on the third day against South Africa A in Paarl.
It continued the skipper's good form after he hit 79 from 127 balls in the opening tour match.
The batsman's century took the Lions to 507-6 in response to South Africa's first innings 504-8 declared.
James Vince and Adil Rashid both hit 78 as the Lions recovered well from being reduced to 67-3.
The four-day match is the first unofficial Test of England Lions' tour.
Trott's last three-figure score for England was an unbeaten 109 against New Zealand in a one-day international in June 2013.

Trott can't be far from a recall.
I see Petersen got some press with some comments he made. It sounds like he's come into some form again and he thinks he has a few years left in him. If that's true, its a sad waste of one of the best talents we've had play for us.

Trott may well open as the rest of the batting is settled
ie Trott, Cook, Balance, Root, Bell, Buttler, etc
as for KP no no and no if he was that concerned about playing for England he should have played a full season for Surrey last season instead of running all over the place playing T-2O, if he had scored loads of runs he may have got his place back as England were struggling and he hasn't scored loads of runs in the Big Bash anyway
