AndyinLiverpool Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 His batting form is terrible but that's not really the main problem. His captaincy isn't good enough, get rid. Can we have a captain that can manage people? Not one who conspires to get rid of the best player just because that player is a bit difficult.

In general, I agree with you on the first point. As Strauss said, KP is a first class cnut. He did numerous inappropriate things, he hurt team spirit and generally thought he was bigger than the team. My only criticism is that it took the ECB so long to act. Good riddance.

McRamFan Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Peter Moores and Alistair Cook are not good enough. Cook should hand the captaincy over to someone else, and Moore should just quit, worse manager ever, Billy Davies could do a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 For all that Jimmy Anderson has taken so long to get a maiden test century, he broke the English record a few years ago with 54 consecutive test innings before being dismissed for a duck.

Phoenix Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Oddly, England's 10 highest 10th wicket stands against india have involved those two maestros of the Willow blade, Panesar (twice) and our own Devon Malcolm (twice).
