Sooner KP is back in our team the better. Also - Cook out. And... Stokes is THE worst batsmen I've ever seen.0

Well he had a better series than KP in the last Ashes! Better average, more 100's, better strike rate and scored more boundaries and just 15 less runs in two less innings than the wonderful KP.Frontline9 said:Sooner KP is back in our team the better.

In addition to NA's correct comments, can you please explain WHY KP should be back in the team, and use his batting record this season to back up your comment.Frontline9 said:Sooner KP is back in our team the better. Also - Cook out. And... Stokes is THE worst batsmen I've ever seen.

Apparently a couple of changes (in addition to Buttler) - so would expect Jordan to come in for Stokes, and maybe Woakes for Plunkett or Broad (Rested,apparently).
If so, cant see us being able to take 20 wickets - Woakes wont trouble my local Indian Restaurant team let alone India.1 -
Got it spot on - Jordan and Woakes in, Stoeks and PLunkett out.The_President said:Apparently a couple of changes (in addition to Buttler) - so would expect Jordan to come in for Stokes, and maybe Woakes for Plunkett or Broad (Rested,apparently).

Cook out for 95, caught behind.
Still a good knock, don't really understand why 100 would be seen as great but 95 not.0 -
100's are registered as milestones - 95's arent !SELR_addicks said:213-2

That's not what you said in your second sentence. I answered your point.Addickforlife said:Algarveaddick said:

This is the dilemma. For all the calls from those who want Cook gone very few are offering up an alternative. I'm slowly coming round to the idea of giving it to Morgan. He clearly has talent but hasn't looked great in tests, but he has looked like he is a capable captain whenever he has taken charge of the ODI/T20 sides. If we are intent on replacing Cook as captain then I'd prefer this rather than someone from county level who has never played international cricket.BrusselsAddick said:Who would you replace Cook with ?
Can someone please.please,please tell me what it is that Morgan has done this season to even deserve being mentioned ??!!
" but he has looked like he is a capable captain whenever he has taken charge of the ODI/T20 sides"
Is that the same Morgan who captains Middx at 20/20 who are bottom of the league with 2 wins from 13 games ?? Sounds like a capable captain to me !!
It's rubbish. Morgan should not be anywhere near the test team, yet. You cannot pick a captain who wouldn't actually be good enough to get in the team if he wasn't captain.
Who was an exceptional captain. If someone could prove to me that Morgan was that good then fine, but to be honest all I've seen is him pretty decent in one day and T20.0 -
On way home from the Rose Bowl. Can't help thinking it was a bit of a meh day. Was expecting 330+ but I suppose should wait until both sides have batted0

What a good player England have found in Ballance, a very calm measured and well-disciplined player who has taken Trott's place as the anchor seamlessly.
As for Cook, I still don't think he is a good captain but he showed a lot of guts out there today and a real shame he could not get to 100.
The Indians made a massive error going with just four bowlers, they have released the pressure on England who can now look to bat once and make 500+ - its now up to Bell and Root to really pile on the runs today.0 -
It's how England played during their 'good' period. Bat first, build up a big score slowly, then suffocate the opposition. That's the idea anyway...1

A good day for England overall, got to be gutted for Cook though.0

20 minutes to lunch.
346-2. Ballance 152*, Bell 66*0 -
GB's highest EVER score is 210.0

England have found a real talent in Ballance. Seems extremely comfortable at number 30
