Cooks retirement.

Oh lord I hope not. Can it be the cancellation of the Hundred balls-up instead? Or they've decided we're short on all-rounders and Jofra Archer will make his debut in the next test?

Cooks retirement.

I�d rather it was Jennings retirement

Good time to do it I feel! He had the impression of a guy that was beyond his best.

Fantastic servant to English cricket. The first English runs of the summer have been a Cook bunt into the Legside for a single for so long it'll be strange not to see him opening up!

Great servant to English cricket. I thought he would break Tendulkar's record in tests but now his record is safe.

The end of one of the greats. Cheers Chef.

End of an era, one of the true greats retires, at probably the right time, glad he will get a time for a good send off.

Thanks for the memories Chef.

Gutted, I love Chef ! He's looked out of sorts, however, its been tough for most batsmen this series as the balls been doing so much. I hoped he would just put it behind him and carry on.

And as a side note, he's taken the pressure of Jennings, even more reason to feel gutted !!

Cooks retired!! But we better not start talking about his replacement. Someone will get upset......

InternalTraining · « **Reply #1421 on:** September 03, 2018, 03:25:09 PM »

I am disappointed. He could've broken and created records. I didn't hear much about fitness issues so he was lucky in that regard.

For batsmen/bowlers with potential to break records, captaincy is a big mistake or rather a distraction to their career trajectories. Root is making that mistake as well.

I actually think Cooks retirement will help whoever X2 comes in to try and nail down an openers spot. I can only imagine you�d turn up on being selected and you get the feeling Cook�s thinking �Oh here�s another one who will last about five tests�

Well played Cook good timing too

I'm a huge Cook fan so it's a sad day. He might think his game is just tipping over where he has lost his edge.

Great to see he will still play for Essex and has signed a three year deal. He has followed his mentor Gooch career wise.

Def the best opener I've seen for England but as one door closes another one opens

We prob need another thread now but Joe Denley seems to be the name in the frame for a call up.

cricketbadger · « **Reply #1424 on:** September 03, 2018, 08:22:44 PM »

As much as I like the idea of Denly, I don't see much point in it because if he does well it's only going to be short lived anyway as he is already older, so would have to start the whole search for a replacement again.

Think Denly could be an option on white ball stuff before the Test side

Who else is there? Basically we need 2 as Jennings can't have much left either

Burns probably deserves a shot even if his runs have come on a flat track just for she's consistency and volume

But who else? Lyth is a great cricketer and id love to see him get another shot but he's not really banging door down with runs either
