Nice to finally push them for the win again.0

bring them home ffs0

It could only happen to England.0

Dreadful from Cook. He looks totally clueless at the moment. No runs and no idea how to lead a team. Why oh why did Jordan not get a look in during the last 2-3 overs?0

Cook just lets the game go by. Great captains are proactive and try to do things to make the opposition think. He doesn't and simply allows batsmen to set themselves based on what they know is going to come.Clem_Snide said:Dreadful from Cook. He looks totally clueless at the moment.

I certainly would have had Jordan bowling but, even before that, I might have been tempted to give Root his last over. Without the pace on the ball Faulkner might not have been quite so effective.

Ah defeat from the jaws of victory0

That is one of the best innings i've ever seen given the number he's batting at and the game situation.
Not totally unexpected though as he hit a century v India recently

Not even a surprise.
Can't Cook just go now? The bloke is turning into an embarrassment.0 -
Completely behind the curve re this match. only know what i've read here.
Did Tredders get a game? I assume not with Root bowling. Can't help wonderingwhy they flew him (Tredders) out there. He seems more redundant than Finn was!0 -

No Tredders didn't (or Briggs). They see Root as the spinner with the added bonus of him batting at 3 and getting runs - which he isn't.LenGlover said:Completely behind the curve re this match. only know what i've read here.

Shades of India when last over here. They kept getting into position to win and we somehow found a way to win every time despite Dhoni's heroics.0

They dont deserve to come home until they've won at least one game...falconwood_1 said:

That being the case, they might have to make plans for the family to spend Christmas with them Down Under.JohnBoyUK said:

History has shown that it does help if the England Captain hails from your County. One only has to look, for example, at the players from Lancs and Surrey under Messrs Atherton and Stewart to be capped during their tenure.PeanutsMolloy said:

Sadly it's been a long time since we had a Kent player skippering England and I would suggest that it might be a good few years 'til it happens again!

I'm afraid that a combination of the financial screwing of non-Test hosting counties (excluding the favoured new entrants) and poor management at Kent CCC, before that die was cast, means that you are absolutely right.Addick Addict said:

Save that IM(totally biased yet)HO, Robert Key could be to the 2014 England Cricket Team what Mike Brearley was to it in 1977. Not the best opening batsman around but an able one and an imaginative and motivating captain.

The double whitewash looms. No worries, Cooky's the right man to take us forward.0
