Morning All,
Can I just go on record as saying England are st, We won't win anything with Cook as captain. The Mighty Hammer of Justice is past it, and can no longer get it off the square. The pitches are too slow and Jimmy A is no longer the best bowler in the world. We have no spinner and whilst we are at it Prior is an old man and isn't up to it anymore.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Shane Warne on Pistonheads - excellent
Apologies - I agree with you
Read somewhere yesterday that the wickets were after breaks which smacks of management tactics having effect, rather than captains tactics

We've suddenly remembered how to bowl
Blimey, that is quite a turnaround - 300/4 349/9 Some might say a collapse of English proportions
This last wicket partnership shows we have not learned how to bowl.

Finally
What are the odds on Cook being able to remember what to do when he gets to the crease.
Errrr.... Not good then.What are the odds on Cook being able to remember what to do when he gets to the crease.
Poor dismissal showing too much leg stump. An England captain should not be getting out like that.
Why aren't we learning lessons from India's no. 9 & 11 batsmen?

Alastair Cook is finished.
It is like a bowler getting the yips, he looks all over the place. Time to sack Cook and bring back KP as Captain.

I know Cap'n Cook is having a bad run, and I know your KPs biggest fan, but remind us what KP has done in the last six months to be worthy of a place in the team. Perhaps remind us of how successful his captaincy was in the IPL
Mere details, I know he can rise to the challenge, KP never played well in dead rubbers and lesser matches, he is the man for the big stageSure, I know he isn'tt coming back, but what do the ECB do know, having backed Cook and made their highest scoring batsman in the Aus tour the scapegoat, what do they do now the skipper has lost his compass...

Quite. Peter moores and Alastair cook have not turned the tide, merely run with it. Right now we'd be better off with peter cook and dudley moore.
