Cook!

Yes.. even fabrace backed him in that game. there was 5 sessions to go and we had a 400 lead and they were worried about batting last against Pakistan spinners.. how the hell can you concede over 550 and be bowled for less that 150 in 5 sessions??

Looks Root will take over and hopefully he'll be more attacking

*like

Broad or Anderson should be next captain not root.

Cookie.... Do what you do best.... Score some runs...

he took on the role when there was no obvious captain lined up. I guess there was a bit of vanity involved but he was there when needed.

Cook has been a fantastic captain.... won the ashes twice - what more do people want? The KP saga didn't help though...,


Anyway, poor lad never got to beat Pakistan in a test series whilst we was in charge. Root the obvious replacement for me

the first ashes series we won was great 3-0.. the second we were very poor 3-2..we lost the last 7 out 10 ashes matches.. That was cooks problem as captain. we won 2 ashes series won in india and south Africa yet his win to loss ratio was almost identical.

Speaking of not beating Pakistan.. It wasn't helped by cooks captaincy.. England had just bowled Pakistan out for nothing in the previous test to the oval.. The oval grounds man left live green grass on the wicket//

Knowing the grass would be cut the next day and that the weather was set for warm and sunny.. You obviously bowl first. NOOOOOOOOOO NOT COOK!.
