I think I could be a useful number 7 for the team!

It's been a dreadful tour but barely bowling Panesar today beggars belief. Staggeringly bad from England. I think with a tour this bad Cook's captaincy is now under threat. Moving forward the only guaranteed starters for me are Cook, Bell and Broad. We mustn't produce green pitches in the summer as we need to learn how to play in conditions that don't suit us. A massive rebuilding of the team and a complete change of philosophy is required.

I'll carry the drinks, but if they are alcoholic I can't promise there will be anything left by the time they get there.

I also boast a career best 27 in non stop cricket.

My spin bowling has a career average of about 50 but I did once take 5-30 in a game against Kinver 3rds.
Can't bat though, best put me at 11.

I can bat at 3 if needed, used to open but prefer to come in first wicket down. Don't like facing spinners or left handers, always liked fielding in the covers but that was a long time ago.

Happy to do it. Although I'll need a loyal vice captain and off course we need to find a H+V coach to implement some fresh ideas into the set up.

You'll be happy under my leadership then.

I'll be introducing mandatory drinking sessions at the close of play.
