First his Wife, now Moores. I find it very strange that Cook has twice come out and said he's been thinking of giving up the Captaincy. He comes across as very insecure, especially when combined with his habbit of collaring Journos who write criticism of him.
Cook admitted that a factor in England’s success was improved relations with former captains working in the media. “What I found tough with the Kevin Pietersen affair was that every time we had a bad day it was my fault, whether it was or wasn’t. That experience will never happen again. The big shift is that old players have come into the dressing room again. Maybe we were naive to think they couldn’t help. Inviting them in has made a difference. The important thing now is that we put in a performance and go 4-1. That’s what drove me [after winning the Ashes], the thought that we can beat these guys 4-1.”

He did say that one reason he's more settled is that some ex-players/captains who were critical are back onside. I can't remember the exact wording but it was along those lines.

He did stand by Prior when Prior was injured, and Cook stood in front of the crowd and said Prior would be keeper for as long as the keeper wanted. And then in backing Matt, told the press Buttler wasn't ready yet. So, Buttler came into the side on the back of a vote of no confidence from the skipper. A typically Cookish hodgepodge.
