***Official*** India in England 2014

King Pietersen

International Captain
0,5,5,4,0,4,0,0,0,0

Stokes' last 10 innings for England. If 7 wickets at 33 is enough to keep your place as an all-rounder, then that says a lot about the state we're in at the minute.

Plunkers clearly not following the game plan, nothing short balls outside hoff-stump need to be hooked into the air, show some solidarity man.

I bet Plunkett wishes he could bowl against his own team, he'd have great figures then.
Well given the short crap we did bowl, I reckon our guys would be Sydney-Barnes-Like against our crud batting.

Honestly, this has been such a poor performance, it's hard to know where to start. We had massively the best of conditions, and we still, if we'd batted anything like, should still have won. Yet Cook has to resign, if he doesn't I'll lose all respect for him.

Yet it's the Seniors that have all let us down this Summer, hope all the newbies are kept. Cook, Bell, Prior, Anderson and Broad hang your heads in shame. You've been great servants, but this has been utterly shambolic.

Think how important that last over before lunch, or even last ball, was. Moeen survives unscathed and they probably don't try a short ball barrage and who knows. But they did and we suck.

Just found out Ishant is from Delhi, which is where I'm flying. Meant to be!

I am getting irritated by the over-praise of Ishant by the commentators. Frankly it wasn't particularly great short-pitched bowling, just moronic batting by England. Now we will have to watch his short-pitched stuff getting smashed for the next two years

Prior has to go. Stokes not really justifying his place either.

1. Cook
2. Robson
3. Ballance
4. Bell
5. Root
6. Moeen
7. Woakes
8. Foster +
9. Broad
10. Plunkett
11. Anderson

I can't see a mid-series captaincy change, so Cook may last until the end of the summer. Next winter:
