Excited about the series. I believe this series result so hugely depends on 2 guys, Cook and Ashwin. Any MOS guesses? Just to be slightly different, I'll go for Jadeja.

Atherton, Nasser Hussain, Flintoff .That's 3 in very recent times.

FF will be happy. Hameed plays and Duckett bats 4. Ballance dropped.

So the breaking news is Hameed to open and Duckett to play at four in place of Balance. Blimey that's a brave call to make against a very experienced India attack on their own patch isn't it? Gonna be interesting to see how Hameed deals with the pressure. I think it would have been wiser to give him his debut in Bangladesh first tbh but hey it is what it is.
I remember Root doing well on debut there so lets see if he can follow in his footsteps.

Flintoff was never permanent captain, he was a stand in for Vaughan and got it taken off him. It's probably Atherton
Hussain and Stewart before you reach Atherton. Gooch before Atherton. Gatting. Gower. Botham. In fact most captains before England actually started becoming successful and captains got to choose their retirements.
EDIT: oops misunderstood the question. D'oh

Hussain gave up captaincy after the 2003 South Africa series and Vaughan replaced him.

he did, then went onto have one of the greatest finales to a career of all time at lords against new zealand in 2004.

Yeah, running out Strauss on debut was a masterpiece.

smashing an unbeaten and match winning century at HQ kinda erased that memory. pretty sure his final two shots were...
cover drive 4 to bring up his century
cover drive 4 to win the match
one of my favourite cricketing memories

I watched that game live. Was a great moment and he retired straight after. Don't think he hinted it at all. Retiring after scoring a brilliant 100 in the 4th innings was a great finish.

Kind of annoyed that they are throwing Hameed into the fire now.
Hoping he does well but **** not exactly an easy start to his test career.
IMO Cook would probably step down if we had a decent tour but given we will get smashed I doubt he wants to go out as captain after a 5-0 loss.

I don't know if he is serious about that or just throwing shade towards Anderson. The guy is an immensely skilled bowler, as lengthy as Woakes makes the batting and as quality as I think he is, I still think Anderson has to play.
