Pup,


It really is the media creating this frenzy, making up stories etc.

Nah Mail, Eng did it all on their own

Pup,

To an extent you are right as you would remember Oz was in the same position when you visited us last summer and lost 3-0.

Personally it was closer than 3-0 suggested.

So, yes, if bringing it on ourselves for losing.

The press are vultures at the best of times.

I think Cook needs a rest and nothing going for him at the moment. If he fails more (both his batting and team winning) then he is in danger of loosing his captaincy. England needs something different at the moment and give the captaincy to Morgen.  Drop Root and Rankin, and bring Broad and a proper spinner.
