5* Chef
Alastair Cook's 235* in Brisbane was the third highest by an England batsman in Australia. Only R.E Foster, 287 in 1903 and Wally Hammond, 251 in 1928, have scored more.
A 'daddy' century and one mother of an innings...
'Alastair Cook was a natural at 13', says Derek Randall in The Guardian. Alastair's also a master of understatement himself in his articles in Metro newspaper: "After everything that has happened in the past year I hope to use the next two months to prove I can play..."

St John's @ Harrow School
To Harrow School on Tue 2 Nov, to hear a concert by St John's College Choir from Cambridge. In the truly extraordinary setting of the Speech Room, built in 1873 by William Burgess, St John's gave of their best, with the trebles rising to the occasion as the evening drew to its conclusion. Their encore (and the St John's Gents' encore) were both wonderful displays of the choir's versatility. The concert finale, Hubert Parry's Hear My Words, Ye People, was a rousing rendition, ending as it does with Parry's hymn tune O Praise Ye The Lord. (Almost) all conducted in inimitable style by musical director Andrew Nethsingha.
