Cooks form is poor but the facts are we can't find one opening batsmen so to drop him and then need to find two would be lunacy. He also scored a shitload for Essex he's the best in the country by a mile.hahahaha you lot are funny
am i the only one seeing england are crap in the opening batting order yes we have a good tail and can bowl swing but it never swings over there and bounce and spin is key like i said if you don't score 400 in the first innings after winning the toss and batting first its down hill
Tomorrow morning will be a huge session in this test
England see off the new ball for no loss or maybe one at lunch and they're in pole position
The Aussies restrict England to 270 ish for seven or eight down and they're favourites

Off the top of my head Robson, Lyth, Jennings, Habeeb have all had a decent go at it and not done it so why drop someone who's got 30 test hundreds? The facts are none are good enough so you go round in circles. Same as the lads at 3 and 5 although hopefully Vince has sorted one positionwe have had a full winter and summer to build up somebody and give them time and 8 to 10 test to bed in but the ECB just kept cook in and picked 4 or 5 different partners that was given a couple of test and out of the team the ECB are to blame and the old farts are going to get some right shit this winter mark my words england have not got a chance

I don't want to argue for dropping Cook but I don't think Hameed has been given anything like a decent go at it. 3 matches as test opener, averaged over 43, broke his thumb (I think) which meant he had to drop out of the rest of the tour and hasn't been given a sniff since.Off the top of my head Robson, Lyth, Jennings, Habeeb have all had a decent go at it and not done it so why drop someone who's got 30 test hundreds?

Hasn’t his form since returning to county cricket been pretty abysmal though?I don't want to argue for dropping Cook but I don't think Hameed has been given anything like a decent go at it. 3 matches as test opener, averaged over 43, broke his thumb (I think) which meant he had to drop out of the rest of the tour and hasn't been given a sniff since.
