So a player he captained last game will captain him in the next gameHa ha ha Cookie is staying on to play the 20/20's, interesting.
Almost 5 as well. The ODI series between England and India in August/September finished 3-0 with one abandonment and another tied. Don't know whether you could call it a whitewash.Well this has been a downer. Congrats England.
So if we're just counting bilateral tours, haven't England now been involved in 3 consecutive whitewashes? That's gotta be some type of a weird record.
Even weirder if you count the 4-0 in the tests and 4-0 in the Odi's against India, even though the one day series wasn't a whitewash.Well this has been a downer. Congrats England.

Sets a high bar, does Howzers.If Dernbach bowls more than 7 overs today I'll be very surprised.
I'd be opposed to the idea of Patel as a frontline option. If he's to be capped in the Test side it should be on the basis of his batting alone.Sets a high bar, does Howzers.
Must admit I haven't seen a ball he bowled yet, but his figures suggest he came back well.
Gutted for Jos, tbh, but otherwise it looks like another good day at the office. Winning with Cook failing a welcome bonus too.
Very pleased for Sammy as well. Been quietly effective all series. Possible outsider for #6 in the tests? Good enough batsman and would mean we could bring in Bresnan (or Finn) for Monty and still have two spin options (with all due respect to KP's offies).
After Mike Gatting of course1 more ODI ton and he becomes only the 2nd England player to hit 10 tons.
Averages 41+ in FC cricket; we've capped dozens as specialist bats with worse.I'd be opposed to the idea of Patel as a frontline option. If he's to be capped in the Test side it should be on the basis of his batting alone.
Trescothick with 12.After Mike Gatting of course
No but really who's the other?

True, but that average was pushing 50 a couple of years ago.Averages 41+ in FC cricket; we've capped dozens as specialist bats with worse.
Yeah, right enough. Had a dire couple of seasons in 09 & 10 (when his pie-related issues were at their worst), but scored over 1000 runs at 47.5 in 2011.True, but that average was pushing 50 a couple of years ago.
Yeah it wouldn't be the worst move, I'd just rather he was picked because he's the best option at 6, not because he offers a useful bowling optoon.Yeah, right enough.

I'm unashamedly a fan. Better technique that Morgan and I think he's got more in the way of arse (metaphorically as well as literally) than Ravi.
I like his technique not bad at all, it's quiet wristy.Yeah, right enough. Had a dire couple of seasons in 09 & 10 (when his pie-related issues were at their worst), but scored over 1000 runs at 47.5 in 2011.
