Captain Cook

[Andy]

Now now, we've got to be more inclusive on this BB.

it was a simple joke that albeit wasn't very funny, but I'm sure the original comment was respected, as was the poster as well. And I think we've learnt a lot from this situation that we can carry forward, erm, going forward I meant.

I now have the urge to say something very nasty about Grayson, but I have resisted. Resist. Resist resist.

Apologies. There were far funnier and more appropriate possible jokes that could have been made, if more than a moment's thought had been given to it.

Always think before you post, is the lesson. And well done for resisting.

Apologies accepted. I'm going to make meself a tin foil hat. May I suggest that you do the same. Apparently they work.

But who says that they work? Perhaps they're just trying to lull you into a false sense of security. It's the kind of thing they do.

MICHAEL VAUGHN SWAPS ZANY SYRUP FOR CONSPIRATORIAL HEADWEAR

I notice that Ally has learnt 1 thing from Fossie in that England have again been penalised for a slow over rate - 12 per hour in Sri Lanka yesterday which is deplorable, rather worryingly if Ally gets a 1 match suspension then Morgan could get the Captaincy & his form is atrocious but then again he is never dropped (unlike Ravi).
Nice to see Pietersen sitting on the fence re the Captaincy, perhaps he can impart some pearls of wisdom based on his time as England Captain!!

This is the thread that rose from the grave!

This shows what a sad individual I am having time to dredge up this old thread!!

Overcoming denial is an important first step to healing...

At last someone(Moores) has come out and said Cook is not a cert to be in charge of the one day side.

At least Cook knows who his friends are...

TBH no one on here rates AC as a skipper or ODI batter. As I've said before, KP's narcissm has forced the ECB into sticking with AC out of principle and he actually undermined any possiblity that he would be resurrected as a player or even as skipper.

I think Cook should now stand down but the problem is Morgan isn't any better.

This series Morgan made runs when skipper - coincidence? I think he's tried to get his place back in all forms of the England team but whether he's not good enough or there's a power play from AC I don't know. I do know that it isn't healthy to have skippers picked on whether they can use the correct knife and fork rather than long term form.

Morgan's recent T20 record (last 18 months - 2 years) is no better than Cooks and Middlesex in the domestic T20 last season under Morgan were woeful so what real justification is there to drop Cook and replace with Morgan?

T20 requires no real tactical genius so why not just pick the best team and select a captain from there? It's got to be better than this old fashioned way of picking the captain and then the team.
