Well that seemed to work. Can you tell us next how Haddin hasn't yet scored a duck and Johnson hasn't had a wicketless match?

During the last test there was an interview with Watson.

He was saying his batting had gone to pot has he'd changed his game to eliminate the LBW, and in the end he decided to go back to his natural game which is why he found form again.

Next match, LBW. Lol.

Haddin stabilising the innings, again.

And Rankin is off injured. What a terrible tour for England, some totally bizarre, random, knee jerk selection decisions. A total lack of coherent leadership.

Haddin stabilising the innings, again.

We handed it to 'em.

As soon as they started to build cook reverted to type, stuck out a defensive field and sat back waiting for something to happen whilst they scored and our bowlers went to pieces.

The blokes a muppet. HAS to go as captain. Absolute ****e.

[Chazza]

Once again we let them off the hook.

Carberry

[EwarWoo]

Carberry looked a complete bunny on every ball. Nfi why they played him.

[Chazza]

Talk of doubts over Rankin's fitness this tour.

Cramp after 8 overs would point to an issue.

[Urethra Franklin]

Did anyone NOT envisage Carberry ****ting himself and looking *entirely* out of his depth?

I would honestly rather we opened with Bresnan.

[Shaggy]

Carberry is hopeless. Cook is a garbage captain. This has happened nearly every time. And Rankin looks wank. And fat.

[Alex]

Carberry did pretty well at the start of this tour didnt he? Had a couple of half decent innings.

Clearly he isn't international quality, but who else is there? I guess sticking with Root and letting him play into form was an option. But in hindsight Bell would have been the answer. Let Bell and Cook get a few runs on the board, allowing our sloggers like KP and Prior to get a few more on top.

[Chazza]

Root should be opening with Bell at 3.

[Buzzo]

Some of Cooks quotes in the papers suggest he has lost it. I read him responding to Shane Warne, and he just doesn't come across consistently in his defence of himself and his tactics. You can sense the creeping doubt in there.

He's lost it. Needs to go back to concentrate on his insanely dull mind numbing century building that made England such a force.

I'd have bell open and keep root at 3

He is a terrible captain getting worse.

[captainfog]

Cook is a poor captain

[captainfog]

Borthwicky proved to be a great selection... Ha!
