Not great news for Cook either, total lame duck. We are four wickets down, chasing 303 in a dead rubber at the end of a s
t season, Cook approaches ODI like a virgin at an orgy. No idea why he is there, or what to do. 18 months since he last scored above 80 runs. Absorbs 50 - 60 balls at the top of the order trying to "get in" As I have repeatedly said, even on Cook's best day in an ODI, England score 260. Cook uses up the balls, trying to play in then makes a 60 - 70 and leaves some poor f
ker to smash it in the last 5-10 overs, even when it works it is a 260 score. 57/4 - we are literally awful. And the only Batsman that has made two 50+ scores is Bopara and they dropped him !

Im not suprised he was dropped. DD finished bottom of the IPL last year and he was skipper, and made hardly any runs. Gargamel said:

Haven't Taylor and Root both made more than 1 50+ score as well, not counting this game?We are four wickets down, chasing 303 in a dead rubber at the end of a s
