Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory! Time for the beard that's feared to step up and make himself undroppable.

Yes, sort of, he is quite a good summarizer, a bit breezy, what with Vaughan, Tuffers and Marks in there too, we need some old fashioned types too, like The Boil and Trueman to even it up.
Terrible days play. I really think Cook is not up to the joba nd it is effecting the team. he has a good few years left as an opener, let him do that, and have a different captina. Who, though god only knows. Also very noticeable hwo adly England bowled and how badly we need a spinner.....
This could be back to the 90s, I went to see England for years watching pants cricket like this......

It's going to happen.... basically, as far as I cans ee, they have to keep Cook, Bell, Root, Anderson and Broad. I know he has jusr got a Century and he may get better, but Robosn will be made mincemeat of, Ballance, possibly, Moeen is in because he bowls a little spin, not becaus ehe is a number 6. Plunkett a couple of good balls, but also some shockers. If they pick him, pick Finn, faster still and takes more wickets.
Spinner, good lord who? Prior, maybe but not for long now.......
They will be rotating around those 5 for a year or two.....
