It's painful to watch, and I fear dragging the whole team down as well. Honourable thing would be to fall on his sword, but suspect he'll cling on for the series.

Doctor K Jul 2014 12:29pm, 18 Jul 2014 3,218 posts	0 Doctor K I don't see how Cook can continue much longer as captain on his form alone. never mind his actual captaincy. The question is before we throw him overboard, who is going to replace him? Prior might go with him shortly so he's ruled out.

Wriggling Snake Jul 2014 12:36pm, 18 Jul 2014 7,224 posts	0 Wriggling Snake yes, ca't see Cook Staying beyond this series really, shame because he is a great Batsmen, but not all great players make Captains. Botham, Willis, Gower (he seemed to be able to bat though). Boycott, he was shite as a Captain too....... Ayway, just in general, PITCH IT UP, is all we had to do yesterday..... I fear we will coe up 100 short. Prior is out of form to with gloves and the bat, and hislong-term place is unsure.....it only reallistically leaves Bell, who is also untried as a captain, and unreliable batting wise just now.........Broad, maybe, but nobody welse would get the balll hmmmm

TRO Testeur dégoûtant Jul 2014 2:43pm, 20 Jul 2014 9,029 posts	0 TRO Testeur dégoûtant Blown it. Only questions remain now is can the weather wrote most of tomorrow off and earn us an undeserved draw, and will we at least put up enough of a fight - with Cook among the runs - to save Cook's captaincy. An abject surrender and Cook gone cheaply and surely the gig is up and something has to be done now.
