London: Sep 14, 2014

England One Day International (ODI) team captain Alastair Cook, captain of the future role of the selectors should be reduced from the balance of the team is divided. England coach Peter Moores as the captain of the World Cup in February and March to be strongly supported by Cook. But predictable selectors James Whitaker, and are reluctant to return him to the chairman and other members of the community that are reluctant to bring him.

Moors, Whittaker, Angus Fraser and Mick Newell completed the five-match series in November and December for the selection panel to decide the team will meet on September 23, reported the Mirror. If he gets the nod for the tour of Sri Lanka, Australia and New Zealand at the World Cup with his country, and that the report is almost certain to lead to the opener, is the day to decide for the future of Cook.

Overturned a 1-0 deficit to beat India 3-1 in his hand, when the Cook this summer as England Test captain survived. But the future of 50-over one-day internationals for England's thrashing of the Indians in the series, the fifth defeat in six series of the format at the time was the increased scrutiny. This preliminary discussions about the future of the selectors to cook with no contract, is believed to have been held so far reached. The panel continues to be divided, but the choice of the conferences that do not have a selector for England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Managing Director Paul Downton, Cook may have to make a big call, the report added.

The idea of ​​Alastair Cook of England in the World Cup 2015 ", which is a bit" can win, but admitted that he had no plans to step down as England's one-day captain insists. England, with almost 20 overs in a match, sealing a 3-0 series result, the rest were thrashed by nine wickets at Edgbaston, India.

It was in England lost their last five matches and won five out of six in the series. Cook in the absence of the team's success in the same series, the Caribbean, I had a dream.

A captain is now officially sanctioned by them actually have an opinion - a maximum of 13 matches to go ahead of the World Cup in England, the competition to find the time to provide them with a viable plan being implemented.

80 in 38 ODI innings and is now 26 months has not been reached, Cook admitted to doubts about his own form, but he is convinced that England's strategy is correct and he is a part of turning around a disappointing run of results.

"I aim to try to win the World Cup in Australia who has captained three and a half years," said Cook. "I know that time is a bit far-fetched, but the changing room, there is a lot of really good players and we have to improve at the rate we got a chance to improve., That is what we believe.
By definition, it will automatically become the champions of the need to improve the team.
Cook has his doubts about his own performance and was always present. "You always have doubts about that, and I've had 80 games and 100 test questions that you are always trying to prove that you are good enough and trying to contribute to the England innings for the win. Sufficient. Batters to the ultimate goal of the news that the change in international cricket, that you do not always have doubts, each day is a test.

Insisted that he has no plans to leave. If I am allowed "at this precise point in time, no., I, yes, I'll be at the World Cup, to have a say in the choice, but it is not., Then I do not have to take that on the chin., I hope, but if it is, it is.

"I'm 40-odd overs to bat, I will score enough to be at a good rate, is expected to be at the top of the order.'s What I've done, I've done well with the bat."

Cook for 40 odd overs suggestion sounded dangerously close to all-or-nothing on his own, putting an emphasis on the ability to actually suggest that the bat through the innings.
Cook had not been allowed in the dressing room, while the poor run of results, he suggested that, due to the poor more poor execution skills than boys.

"Maybe for some of these guys, it's the first time we've lost this seriously," said Cook. "It's really a true test of character for the whole team.

Always when you start to doubt the results. Showing that we do not show because "at the very moment we do not know our best 11., That is the position we are in at the moment. We've got a one-day cricket for six months to try and put that right.

"I do not think there is no need to change our strategy., I think we need it. Starts we got really good in the first 10 overs in the first two games, and the problem is that none of us have gone.

It's our batting at the moment, with our lack of the most basic skills are implemented. Batter for a day, a few times while you take shots at low risk, the need to be able to score at a good rate, but the back is putting pressure on the opposition, but also the choice of staying. Unfortunately, we do not do it.
"But it's amazing how quickly you can turn around. As a team we've got to stay true to our beliefs and the fact that you lose faith in you as a player, cricket games, people start to suspect that you want to get away from you at the chip and the got the reason why the choice to replace is perhaps the first." 


"You only have to look at the dressing room now to see whether it matters," said Cook. "Test cricket is not being brought up in a country that has huge significance., But you can put a huge importance in Test cricket, one-day cricket is not just because it does not count.

"We've got six months to the World Cup. Now our big focus. There is no Test cricket for six months, so it's very important."

Birmingham:Tuesday's nine-wicket loss was the latest of three heavy defeats only five months before the World Cup, while ex-players such as Graeme Swann feel Cook should give up the one-day game.

"At this precise moment, I'm still hungry to do it," 29-year-old Cook told BBC Test Match Special.
"If the management say they don't want me, that's a decision they make."


when India took a 1-0 lead in the Test series earlier in the summer, only for England to complete a 3-1 victory.

"What's frustrating is that each side seems to me to play for England, there is a question about my place," said opening batsman Cook. "This is a difficult place to work.

"I was 1-0, 3-1. This sport is changing very fast. My credibility is not for me to comment on."

Cook took charge of the one-day international side in 2011, leading England to the top of the ODI world rankings in 2012.

England great Former Cricker Geoffrey Boycott has said current pattern Alastair Cook to accept the "constructive" criticism from former players. Cook Graeme Swann labeled a "pretend friend" after the retired former England off-spinner said the side "did not have a cat in hell's chance" of winning the World Cup next year in Australia and New Zealand.

Swann also said Cook opening batsman must leave the game one day and his style does not suit and white cricket ball, but remain as Test captain.

From Swann made ​​his initial statements, England fell behind 2-0 with two to play, in a one-day series at home against current world champions India, with the long-standing problem of how to play I turn to bowl again proving a thorn in their side.

"England needs a new approach, but also must be able to accept constructive criticism from former players like me," said the boycott in his column for the Daily Telegraph published on Monday.

"Just look at how Cook responded when his' friend named 'Swann made ​​constructive comments on the team one day England and Cook got his' panties in a twist." What you must understand is Graeme is now paid to give their opinions on media, "said Boycott.

"He and other former players like myself, are not there to flatter England or be cheerleaders for the captain and his players. Everyone wants England to play well and win, but if we think that we have not done well are we supposed to say anything well, that's not going to happen. People like Graeme Swann and Michael Vaughan can see the format of the team could be better and so can I. Take your heads out of the sand and in the modern era of day cricket or else otherwise there will be more bad days ahead. "He added.

As for the problems of England playing rotation - which emerged again in Saturday's loss at Trent Bridge, where players of slow bowling in India took six wickets for 112 runs between them - Boycott said: "England bowling either slow flat fields when not turning.

"It's a different ball game when the ball spins. Then shrivel-tied and terrified to use their feet against the spinners. Saturday at Nottingham none of them fell onto the pitch and play with the turn and seemed to drive the ball into the gaps for singles to rotate the strike.'s bat sweeping cross or sweep back seemed to be his only solution. always releases have become England abroad has been useless. exceptions are Colombo Bombay in 2012 and the same year that England won because Kevin Pietersen [now exiled from England configuration] two fabulous centuries meant England had plenty of races for two very good spinners, Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar makes bowling the opposition to place. Swann now has retired and seems Panesar has lost its focus. spinners can not play and have no one to bowling in the opposition. "said Boycott.

"We are still thinking in the old way when I played, pack his batting and bowl fast medium and long line," Boycott added that last appeared in England in 1982.

"That works only sews rolling fields, but the next World Cup is in Australia and New Zealand and do not have that kind of stuff."

Hitting the cricket team batting English as "fools" against world champions India, said the former England captain Geoffrey Boycott captain Alastair Cook, Ian Bell and Joe Root should not be a part of the face day.

"England has entered this series with three Orthodox hitters in our top four of Alastair Cook, Ian Bell and Joe Root. They are lovely technical batters to Test cricket, but should not have the three of them in its one day, "Boycott wrote in his column in 'The Telegraph'.
The legendary batsman also said there was a dearth of spinners and a shortage of hitters who can play the ball spinning in the England team. "It's very clear why England are struggling in one-day cricket today can not play the ball spinning.'re Playing the world champions, India, and bat like fools," said Boycott.
Although England playing slow bowling well in flat fields when not touring, Boycott said that hitters have difficulty when the ball is spinning.
"It's a different ball game when the ball spins. Then are creasebound and terrified to use their feet against the spinners. At Trent Bridge on Saturday, India had four spinners rolled 30 overs and took six for 112 between them. was not a raging turner, who just turned a little, and it was not the first time that had happened to England, "said Boycott.

Criticize the selection of Chris Woakes, Ben Stokes and Chris Jordan, Boycott said that they are all exactly the same, bowling at a similar pace and not have variations.
"After the game Cook admitted England's selected because the three can bat. Was a policy of safety first for England out of trouble with late order runs if the batsmen failed., We are still thinking in the old way when I played, pack your batting and bowl medium fast line and length.
"That only works in oscillating fields of sewing, but the next World Cup is in Australia and New Zealand and not have that kind of stuff," he said.
"They are guilty of the ODI team selection in trial proceedings and central contracts, this is a wrong thinking," Boycott added.
The former captain said the team must learn to accept constructive criticism from former players. "Just look at how Cook responded when his 'friend named' [Graeme] Swann made ​​constructive comments on the one-day team in England and Cook got his 'panties in a twist,'" said Boycott.
"Now Swann has retired and seems [Monty] Panesar has lost its focus. Spinners can not play and have no one to bowling in the opposition," he concluded

Alastair Cook has defended England against rotation approach after they lost the third ODI in Nottingham for six wickets allowing India to take a 2-0 lead in the five-game series.

England was, at one stage, conveniently located at 82 for no loss, but were eventually shot by 227 runs at Trent Bridge, Saturday. They lost six wickets to spin like Ravichandran Ashwin off-spinner took 3-39 while left-armer Ravindra Jadeja slow and part-time workers and Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina got one wicket each for India.

"You do not go there when you lose wickets and keep hitting boundaries. I do not care what they say. Not many people come to a turning wicket and whack right away," Cook was quoted by the BBC.

Cook, who first scored for England with 44 and shared a second successive half-century opening with Alex Hales said ODI cricket it comes to making alliances and England failed miserably at it.

.. "You build borders by building an alliance If kept losing wickets, keeps hitting back You have to consolidate, you must allow yourself to get in can then speed up a little That's the way you have to play .." said.

"A lot of land has fallen to rotate in this series for us. We have to improve on that. We got off to another good start and be overwhelmed by 220 is incredibly frustrating. Know that as a side we did not bat well . were a couple of soft dismissals, "he said.

With two ODIs left, the position of Cook as ODI captain is under threat. Former England cricketers have not only ordered the dismissal of Cook, but I think that England has no chance of winning the World Cup 2015.

Former England spinner Phil Tufnell feel that hitters are not using their feet against the spinners in India.

"Part of the problem in England in the middle overs is not using his feet enough to deal with the spin bowlers. Almost become sitting ducks," said BCC Tufnell Test match special.

Former England spinner Graeme Swann said cricket "old style" will not help England win the Cup next year's World in Australia and New Zealand.

After Saturday's loss, former England captain Michael Vaughan tweeted: "The sooner you accept that England can not play modern style ODI cricket could soon play a little better ...."

Moeen Ali’s soft dismissal off the bowling of Ravichandran Ashwin did not affect the balance of the contest.

If  there was good news for the Indian cricket, it did not happen Oval. For that you have 39 miles of Wormsley, where women Mithali Raj humiliated England, the only test and radio, said Sunil Gavaskar. "This is where all the women here"

That was the fate of the men's tour, which has grown steadily.

Taking into account the fast bowlers due account poor first innings (148), and England was inflicted itself and the sunny Saturday morning better weather for the big hitters in the host, but they are worse than the fifth and final test here .

Despite its next session, in which India took four ports in England, the host 246 for five at tea on the second day was 98 runs ahead.

Many varieties of England and was a coalition of the left; Alastair Cook (79) and Gary Balance (64) shared a second wicket partnership 125 run.

Although England lost three quick gate (Cook and Ballance Bell) has room for 34 deliveries and Moeen Ali, this is a game in which India has all the current and do pray for miracles.

England were 204 for four and India seemed like an opportunity to reduce the deficit. Ali challenged the man to catch next stage and showed excellent contact Aaron sent twice on all fours to the square and the midfoot window.
