Alastair Cook resigns as test captain.

Just seen that Fran. It is a weight off his mind so I fully expect him to do what he does best and continue to score lots of runs for England as he is a class batsman. The only pity is that he is hardly seen playing for Essex. In the good days, players would return to their counties and play for them in all forms. Try and keep a bat or ball out of Botham's hands for long and you are asking for trouble.
 
Talking of players who hardly play for their counties in either the short or 4 day form. Eoin Morgan!!! I think he played in about 2 of the 4 day games, and contributed very little.
