they might be better with a turnip

i'll be delighted if cook gets a big score here regardless of the quality of the bowling as I still think we need an in-form cook for the year ahead, I really hope they don't try to spin it into something more than its worth tho


We may need his batting but certainly not his captaincy.


which was why I was specific about him being in-form

my views on his expendability as captain have been made clear many times

run rate almost up to 2.5 per over now :texas!

considering the amount of time that's been lost I thought we would be showing a little more sense of urgency by now

there have been 5 or 6 shots in the last 10 overs which would be an easy 4 on most grounds, but on this outfield have only been 2s
