Awful captaincy and equally abismal form, as it stands england can't afford both lack of leadership and runs. God knows who can replace him at this point but he's not cutting the mustard |  | | |  |

Prior's moment of truth is about to arrive with the dismissal of Moeen Ali last ball before lunch. If he can help see us home in this one an awful lot of his crapness over the past year could be forgiven. |
prior comes in for a quick cameo and is gone faster than a slapper drops her knickers in magaluf | | | |

If he isn't gone after that he must have some serious dirt on the England management. | | | |

Capitulation.
India set the trap and england fall into it 3 times in a row.
Utterly brainless. |  |

Just switched it off when Root went. Game well and truly over. After giving our bowlers the ideal surface to bowl on in the first innings it's nothing less than shambolic. | | | |

brain dead from Prior experienced player just don't give your wicket away, get to tea and then go for the runs after that. Piss poor. Cook will carry the can but I don't see that changing much |  | | |

Ben stokes, 0554040000. That's not his mobile number, that's his last TEN scores whilst batting for england.
He's faced a total of 49 balls in those innings, meaning on average he's lasted less than 5 deliveries in each innings, scoring an average of 1.8 runs. | |

Broad looked like someone who has having grenades hurled at him, scared of the ball hitting him.
Looks like john Lennon was right, "Ishant Sharma's gonna get you". | |

If you're a betting man, stick your money on Buttler keeping wicket in the next test. |  | | |

He has to start the next match, not sure why Prior was even brought back in | | | |

Typically shambolic ending.
To win the toss on that pitch and end up losing by a hundred runs is a joke.
David gower was sacked after losing to India at lords, the same should happen to Cook. | |

not sure what to say really, youre staring down the barrel of a gun all you have to do is survive but 3 batsmen go out to the same shot in succession.
maybe this is for the best, if by some miracle england had won or drawn this match cook may have survived. if he survives this series the ecb have lost the plot | | | |

The fact is of course that the English cricket team is just like the football team, simply not good enough at international level. When the bowlers do OK it's only when conditions absolutely suit them, and even then they usually bowl far too short for a session or two and inevitably let the opposition off the hook, allowing the tail enders to score plenty. For far too long now we've been unable to bowl teams out. A "world class" bowler is someone who will find a way to get wickets even on a pitch that doesn't suit them, working with a decent captain. We don't have any I'm afraid, and we have a captain who doesn't have a clue and everybody (including the opposition) knows it. As for the batsmen they simply can't play a long innings or under pressure, which they are usually under due to the inadequate bowling performances. |  | | |

We always go in cycles with England, they were very good 2 years ago, one of the best teams in the world but that team has gone now and the new one is nowhere near as good. Give it 2 or 3 years though and we'll be back to being a good outfit again | | | |

lol!, how is he still in the side. im a huge middlesex fan since the days of slack, cowans edmunds and emburey and therefore not partial to the mob from essex, but foster imo is consistantley the best wicket keeper.
must be getting on now. |  |

Geoffrey Boycott, Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special
"Only Alastair Cook, his wife and family want him to remain as captain - nobody else. He's being stubborn and it's going to take six wild stallions to drag him out of that job. It's not about Alastair's feelings, it's about the England cricket team. He sees it as a sign of weakness to give it up. It's not - it's a sign of strength. He thinks it's all going to come right when he scores some runs. It's not." | |

Boycott is usually spot on, the other day he said that the problem with the English bowling attack is that they think they are good, when they are very average at the moment. The whole team seems totally deluded apart from a few of the newbies. Why Jordan ever got dropped for Stokes I wil never know, Jordan never let the side down against Sri Lanka with either bat or ball. Compton needs to come in for Cook and Pietersen for Bell, and I would make Pietersen captain, and as for that cretin Moores, he can fūck right off. | |

Moores is like Roy Hodgson, a safe bet, a yes man who wont rock the boat
agree re Jordan who done nothing wrong ,also cook is so far out his depth its frightening
we have gone from a good test team to a c rap one in 18 months
also why pick prior ??? he batted like a moron in both innings surely chris read would have been a better bet |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

No chance, Cook won't go and the ECC won't sack him.
Even if we lose this series 4-0 (could easily happen), you can bet they will find another scapegoat ala KP - possibly Prior this time?
I'd strip Cook of the captaincy, drop Stokes for Jordan and Prior for Buttler immediately. Make Broad captain until the end of the series. Not the long term answer but might help stem the losing run in the short term. | | | |

Oh Facto, you obviously miss out on the nuances of the summer game , much loved by fat middle class twots like myself or even worse, Northerners!
Bring back Ashley Giles! A true R. I saw him at Wembley on the 24th of May, quaffing lager and right up for the game! Much better than that pr*ck Moores! | | | |
