Judo - that's a very easy statement to make, who would you replace him with, he's 29, averages 47, is the leading century maker for England and maybe is out of touch but that's not a bright comment to make unless you have a suggestion for a better alternative - he's been let down by other players in these 2 tests so far.

Can someone drug test Johnson please!!
|
|
By:
Cook? Fcuk no. He is not a captain that you want. He is negative and it seeps through the team.
Keven Pietersen would be my captain. Or Bell. Both know what it takes to win a game, and are prepared to take it on to get there. Cook? Loses the toss and plays for a draw. Even when he wins the toss he plays for a draw and waits for the opposition captain to dangle a carrot. |
|
By:
it's the way things were always done
you can't have an embarrassing team ethic like this and expect to keep the captaincy his batting average has nothing to do with it, you have to lead and extract the best from the players I don't know who would replace him but many captains have been sacked in such circumstances in the past |

By:
cook did win test series in india 2-1 but he is struggling with bat and captaincy now
|
|
By:
kp you are joking aintcha?supposed to be a self centred pr***
|
|
By:
And?
|
|
By:
He would allow the team to attack other teams, and demand they did. That is what is needed in a team.
|
|
By:
nobody wanted that wicket to be out. haddin you ****.
|
|
By:
pietersen had his time has captain
|
|
By:
Pietersen is probably the very antithesis of captain material.
|
|
By:
Not on the back of 1 series they aren't when they have a winning record, if they were habitual losers then yes, but under him they haven't been
|
|
By:
I disagree West Coast they would far few down now if they hadn't played attacking shots
|
|
By:
KP or Bell. Only 2 options in the England team for captain.
|
|
By:
Could see Cooks head drop when he lost the toss ffs.
|
|
By:
KP is not a captain, arrogant, divisive c0ck - he should take a leaf out of Bell's book here and bat with determination and not arrogance in the 2nd inning. Bell looks like he's facing a different attack, as should KP if he applied himself properly.
|
|
By:
Irresponsible of him not to resign from the role really.
|
|
By:
if they enforce the follow on, they could win in 4 days and that's more rest in itself. so i would enforce it. they shouldn't be that tired to be honest. every aussie player would prob have MORE energy right now than before play.
|
|
By:
Each to their own. I think KPs average would rise at least 5 runs as captain. Think it would be perfect for him, and he would be a perfect captain for their team.
Will never happen obviously, so will end it here. |

By:
BJT all you need to do is look at history to see why the discussion ends.

By:
Problem is if they come out and bat reasonably, Aus are 60+ overs into bowling now. Tired bowlers can easily leak runs, and all of a sudden you are fielding for 150 overs plus the 60 already done. That creates havoc for batsmen. England 2 days in the field, and bowled out for probably sub 150. Although different proposition, but I don't for a second think they are a 150 run per innings team.
|
|
By:
he's already been tried as captain and failed because he is not suited
someone else will be required and KP is at the end of his career having played 100+ tests |
|
By:
could be worse, you could of lumped on NZ at 1.02!

what price the draw matched in new zealand vs west indies match
|
|
By:
NZ game is a crazy sitaution people not betting on cricket as much as the weather
|

By:
|
|
By:
bjt. true they are 60 overs in, but those who play sports know that when you are thrashing an opponent you hate, you dont get tired. you somehow find endless reserves.

i m now happy

yeah, they will be relishing the chance to kick their teeth in
|
|
By:
i not eng inng 351 after 3 out
|
|
By:
nz suck balls tho
|
|
By:
With this score, they really have to. And with the Perth test a few days after, the chance to wrap this up tomorrow will be too enticing.
Of course they will. |
|
By:
can't be asked arguing with you, KP will never be entertained as captain and will be off to the IPL after the World cup
