As I pointed out above the bloke is only 24 and has only played eight tests, two against Australia so far, so if you are writing him of already who is the replacement we are ready to redicule after two match failures? Interesting you think Cook is nothing to be worried about but apart from his 95 at Lords his other four innings so far have averaged only 12, ok for Cook to be given loads of chances (and he is only proven at test level because he was given a run) but write of Bopara at the first attempt :confused:
