Got to feel sorry for the bowler. Two lbws in an over that would have been out on DRS- would Jason have triggered them?) and a drop.
Looking at England opening partnerships since 1900 (nineteenth century was a different game), amazing how many of the worst pairs have been in the past five years (minimum ten innings). Cook has featured in 5/10 worst opening partnerships, with Cook/Hales not far behind. Cook/Stoneman the worst with 18.8 rpw. Cook/Trott miss out because thy only started together eight times.
Burns and Jennings average 33 off eight partnerships. About the same as Cook and Hales and Cook and Jennings.
