'No need for change' - Alastair Cook

You don't have to get on to perform as a side though. Teddy Sheringham & Andy Cole loathed each other but won the treble for Man Utd in 99.

Interesting development though.

Whats Vaughan been doing this winter? Has played anywhere at all?

I thought of that example myself. If they don't get on then they should have the sense to put it to one side when they get on the cricket field. They don't have to go drinking together, don't even need to speak to each other apart from about cricketing matters relating to the match in progress. But they must realise that they are the senior players, the only two world-class players, and their performances and influence on the younger players will make or break the next few years of English cricket.

He said he had no cricket this winter bar nets. He won't get any until Abu Dabi in 3 weeks.

Just in case, like...

Always was going to be.

Best position to be in on current batting performances is out of the team and away from the dressing room troubles. MPV has positioned himself well. The Machiavellian bastard.

if you all could do it, you would.

What?

Own a villa in Barbados?
Or dump on ex team mates in public by pushing the knife in deeper when English cricket is at its lowest right now?

I think Ange meant Al Einganging.

Fark, Gilly and Warnie and SRW and Warnie never got on . . . never affected the team . . .

That surprises me!
Didn't they both work closely together on the Galle rebuild charity, post-tsunami?
