Problem is, he is a poor captain.

He is very crab like and a bit shotless. The Indians worked him out and he did not do as well as Trott or Lyth on the Lions Tour to South Africa. Cook seems to have no idea where his off stump is at the moment.

Robson has some serious technical issues (as does Cook). Carberry I am indifferent too, he tended to get started, then get out stupidly, then the whole team collapsed!! Compton can feel hard done by. He gets 2 centuries in New Zealand, but by the home series against the Kiwi's his place is in...

We need to win one of those games though....

Just get Nasser in, he should be able to upset everyone in a week or so....

Lose in the Windies and sack Moores, might give us some chance. Only got the job as Downton needed to find a coach who would never pick KP, to back his decision up (not advocating a KP recall at this stage).

Last time out, we slowed the pitches down to take Harris and Starc out of the equation, but we also had Swann. With a certain lack of match winning spinners, not sure what the approach will be this time.

He scored runs for Sussex in the County Championship...

Coming back from injury, scored 60 odd against Yorkshire yesterday. He is expected to fly out for the second test.

I would not have taken Tredwell. Riley was the stand out spinner last season, did well with the performance squad and is then overlooked for the bloke he is keeping out of the county side. Too many safe selections by Cook and Moores, who know with the demise of Downton, their jobs are on the line.

Rashid can bowl just as much tripe as Tredwell. He had a good season last year, after several poor ones. If they were serious about blooding a spinner, it should have been Adam Riley.

Regarding Tredwell it is stupid, however Ali should be back for the second test so it is a stop gap.
