He's done allright in the BBL tbf.
Indescribably petty to tweet that out though. Can't wait for Piers' tweets.

Without the mental strain of captaincy he may well have a lot longer in the ranks than if he had carried on as captain for another year.

KP = master troll. I think he even knows (and is satisfied) with him not playing for England again but loves the attention and the feeling of being wronged.

Joe Root once dropped a catch in warmups at Manuka Oval because a friend and I mercilessly sledged him in the process of it. He then got big bully Carberry to tell us to shush. He is not captaincy material tbh.

Bet you shushed though - I don't think Carbs is a man to annoy

Said friend asked him if he had a large member and called him 'Wesley'.

So you sledged a puss bag like Root and **** your pants in the face of Carbs. Not sure that story paints you in quite the light you think it does.

Yeah, I'd have kept that story to myself DCYE.......really not something to be bragging about.
Certainly been some some ups and downs under Captain Cook, but I'll always look back on him fondly as an England skipper. Not really surprised to hear the news, think we all knew it was coming.......let's just hope that free from the burdens of captaincy we can get a few good years out of him in god mode with the bat.

With two Ashes series as well (and one in the middle that didn't really happen anyway) he has much to be proud of

I don't think he'll be remembered in the top echelons of England captains, but he was a safe pair of hands and the series wins in India and South Africa were both pretty special. His crowning moment though was probably regaining the urn after the 5-0 drubbing down under. That he kept the captaincy after an Ashes whitewash speaks volumes for the paucity of other options currently.
Thoroughly decent chap and hopefully has plenty more runs to make for the test side.

Haha nah, Carberry actually just laughed tbh. Was pretty classic.
Yeah hadn't really thought about it like that, pretty bad in retrospect.

He single handily broke it himself by making their captain quit, now the jinx is going the other way beware FAF beware.
