But judging by his interview on Sky Sports now that ain't going to happen.

Re: Cricket
Can't remember where I saw it, but I read somewhere that the ECB will not sack Cook, he will have to resign the captaincy. Personally, I think they deserve this. They made KP a scapegoat and look at them. Still doing rubbish. If I was KP, I would be laughing a little bit at the state of the cricket team.

The ECB should swallow the pride and bring him back forthwith as yes he is a maverick but mavericks can change a game in a instant which is something England don't have.

Lets hope they call Jos Buttler up as he should have been picked in the May test series against Sri Lanka.

Re: Cricket
Why on earth do they give test matches to places like Southampton and Cardiff, the crowds at the Rose Bowl apart from Sunday have been abysmal.

Definitely Den. I know it's the holiday season, but including four weekdays in what is supposed to be a five day match is inexcusable. Not everyone's on holiday. I want them to swing the bat and declare by tea as well.

Re: Cricket
Agreed on the Sunday start, plain stupid. Ideally Sat/Sun should be the 4th & 5th day but not many England tests have lasted that long recently.

I think the usual starting on a Thursday so sat/sun are days 3/4 works well. You're pretty much guarenteed play on those days then. I don't know why they've decided to change it to odd days, maybe to fit the tour into a shorter period of time?
