He slammed the selectors and management after the World Cup, he went after the incoming CEO after the West Indies and then said he would quit if a player was selected. For all the talk about KPs errors over the years, he has not been close to being as outspoken as Cook has in the last few months.
If responding honestly to questions put to him by the media when he is mandated as England captain to appear in front of them is being outspoken then so be it. There is no evidence whatsoever that he threatened to resign if Pietersen was selected.
If Cook's views after the World Cup were honest then he needs removing from any position of power.
Yeh,whatever.
I don't see how you can hae a player who has overseen a horrifically poor run as Captain combined with terrible personal performance honestly believing that the side would be better with him in it in any position of power. Cook's delusions over the year have become increasingly worrying.
Agree 2 clear sign of power and Captaincy is not his thing.
1) Complains about Warne, Why would he do a stupid thing even if he is partly right, clear sign he listen to Commentators and comments plus the pressure getting to him even when England are winning, at that time england were beating Australia in the Ashes and a very good team.
2) as the Cheek to complain to Agnew about him praising KP punditry work.
Cook is just too Stubborn and Deluded to even be captain.
Ironic Cook has become very selfish in the past two years.
as shanky rightly pointed out in twitter.
Alastair Cook's reputation of being a "nice", "likeable" bloke is one of the biggest cricketing myths floating around. Proper knob.
