Cook Must Go. NOW! (As test captain)

[Aidan11]

Now then, when do we start a "Morgan Must Go" thread?

[Aidan11]

Agnew refusing to believe it.

He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight when the truth finally dawns on him.

post numbers will go down between now and the world cup now we wont be able to moan about him tho

All they've done is one failing batsman as captain and replaced him with another.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Morgan out :(

It'll be interesting to hear how this came about* with Downton and Moores backing him. I wonder if some of the other selectors were threatening to walk?

*We won't hear how it happened.

no

that would only be the case if morgan hadn't already been in the team

what they have done is remove the guy who was compromising team selection and allowed us to pick at least one more player suited to the format

and if it comes down to a choice between morgan and cook , then its morgan every time for me , at least he has pedigree in the format

Selvey is saying Whitaker, Newell and Fraser opposed Cook's retention, and says he won't be going to the WC as a player only(!).

Suggests Ballance and Plunkett will be called up.

cook going to the world cup as a player only and just having the captaincy taken off him would be the most ludicrous decision I can think of , so cant understand why he would even mention it

[sussexpob]

Yeah!!!!!!

I was a bit worried that might be what would happen. Downton kept saying how Steely'd be needed against the two new ball (to bat through the innings....).

But, yes.

Feel like having a drink. Don't know whether to go Namibia or the whole Belarus though.

Now we need a Downton Out campaign.
