And Warne.

For all that Warne is a knob, Cook totally overreacted last week imo.

The best way to shut him up is scoring runs and winning cricket matches, not squealing to the media about personal attacks.

I think he still has a future if he sorts his batting out, but he's not captaincy material.

Cook's complaint could maybe have been acceptable if he was playing well and the team was winning. When things are going badly the all you do is make yourself look weak. Warne was right all along - he's never a captain.

Very deserved and a long time coming. The treatment of the likes of Monty, Carbury and KP, the smothering of everything in managmentspeak BS. Hanging onto an inadequate captain because his face fit.

And the slagging off of the Sri Lankans, the whining about the run out, the squealing in their spinner for his action, jesus they have managed to piss off Mahela!

Does Cook actually have any idea what he's doing? Scary.

Meanwhile Ben Stokes takes seven wickets for Durham...

Sir Geoffrey gave him pelters on the TMS podcast, as he says you have to ask why England persisted with the same tactics for hours on end when they obviously weren't working. Didn't help that both Anderson and Broad both had bad days at the office.

Good day for Stokes, career best figures of 7-67. Must be back in contention for the Test squad.
