[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1017213, member: 72205"] I'm not going to complain about his batting he absolutely should playing on that for the point of difference is having a series like 10/11 Ashes for Cook where he just rips a quality opposition apart. He does looks like in a great run of form to contribute that. His captaincy he's just way way too conservative for my liking he especially doesn't give his spinners much help, many time in the Sri Lanka series he set fields that allowed them to pick off singles all day long requiring a high degree of control from a lad still learning his trade and another who has barely bowled a ball in anger for a year. When they did pick up wickets he still refused to put men around the bat. Still its a good start I'm especially happy India appear to have ballsed up thier selection more than we have, Ashwin is one thing but I think they certainly have at least 1 spinner too many for whats avaialible to them these days in the pace department. Egnland on the other hand for some reason have decided to send first choice players home instead of rest them in Sri Lanka but I don't get why you don't pick Anderson and Broad for an opening test who both are probably bowling better now than ever have.
