CRICKET: COOK WORRIES, but... who else ?


Fully fledged Test matches over five days with two innings for each side, are quite different from the tactics which are needed in matches limited to 50 overs OR to 20 over games !


Cook has floundered and England face a second white-wash against the "old enemy".  Cook now worries, ponders, about his future !  This is quite normal !  But the next questions also are quite "normal" !

What are the limits of the responsibilities of the captain and what are the responsilities of the Team Manager or Selectors if or when something "goes wrong" ?  Does only the Captain have to take the responsibility ?  Are Selectors "shielded" from all bad publicity or responsibility ?

These same questions apply not only to Five Day Test Cricket but also the limited overs games !!!  Must, can England only afford to have just one "Captain" in any series ?  Do selectors really only meet just once to decide everything for a tour ?  Is there not a "Hands On" mentality ? 

Cook has been destroyed in Australia !  No one has helped him !  Is that normal ?
