Yeh, he's been pretty class in the county championship, bit hit and miss in T20 so far, sometimes he'll pull it off brilliantly and sometimes he'll get hit for 40 odd!

Just to add to discussions, averages in Sri Lanka  :

Lara : 100.85
Tendulkar : 67.94
Sangakkara : 63.27
Ponting : 48.20
Kallis : 35.33

You're clearly going to feel more comfortable and therefore more than likely score more heavily in your home country, however over factors may come in.

Lara's average is extraordinary as he dominated the greatest spinner of all time Murali.
Tendulkar's 67 average isn't to shabby either.

Abbott shouldn't be playing T20 IMO. It doesn't suit his bowling style.

Flat dead pitches that having nothing for fast bowlers.

Balls bouncing ankle high.

Yeah Sangakkara's an 'all time great' at piling up runs on flat tracks. No more.

He's levels behind batsmen such as Kallis, Ponting, Lara, Tendulkar etc.

Kallis, Lara, Ponting and Tendulkar? You've just named 4 of the greatest batsman of all time. Just about everyone in history are behind these guys. Great argument Gerry.

You're just doing your classic stubborn exercise where you make some outrageous statement and instead of saying "yeah maybe I was bait over the top" you just continue to look like a complete donkey. Averages almost 60 in test cricket. No matter where you score those runs Asia, England, SA or anywhere. If you score that amount of runs over that time period you are one of the greatest.

Horrible captaincy by cook at the moment, really is letting this game go!
Get the spinner on to the lefty!

[TangoWhiskey]

Yeah god knows what he is up to...

[pie-man]

Cook has got it wrong again.  Just like batting too long for Ballance's ton in the last.

Even the crown knew the spinner should be on; ironic cheer when he came on!

[csnew]

Just shows what a captain cook is, he's gone off to get ideas since he's got no clue himself

[El Nino]

Billy Bowden has had a shocker there!

Billy Bowden has had a shocker there!

That's what reviews are for and not for 50/50 reviews that England have wasted them on

[smilley792]

Cook cook cook.


Was it me, or did Sri Lanka plays giggle at that wicket as opposed to celebrate it? Lol

[ProCricketer1982]

Cooks place has to be in danger.. Shocking dismissal

[Gerry SA]

Cook's fall from grace is occurring at a rapid rate.

Not that I'm very sympathetic.

I bet KP's enjoying see Cook's career crumble. 

[csnew]

How embarrassing if England lose to sri lanka at home.
What a stupid shot by robson

[smilley792]

All out tonight?

[Sam]

I'd be tempted to hand the captaincy over to Bell (perhaps Prior if looking for it temporarily) if England lose this. Keep Cook in the side without the pressure of captaincy and hope that helps get his form back. If not, at least you can drop him more easily!

[Gerry SA]

England in disarray!!!

Prasad on fire!

Rips through Ian Bell

52/4.
