Rod Marsh has come out with some interesting comments about English cricket over the last few weeks, but his ability to spot a talented player has never been in doubt. This piece in The Observer was written the day before Alastair Cook made 116 at Perth.
Cook will probably captain England before he is 30 and will probably average over 50 in Test cricket. I'm not concerned that he is not yet in the England one-day set-up. As he matures he will find his way into that team and he will work hard enough on his athleticism and general fielding to do a more than adequate job in the field.
