    Bring Alistair Cook out of retirement to open with Jason Roy in the ashes.

    At one point Broad was useful with he bat, then he hit in the face by a Varun Aaron bouncer. He has never recovered from that.

    I wouldn’t disparage anyone with a record like his even if he was a bit past his best.

    Really? I was only saying he was past his best,( and has been for a while imho) its not as if he's likely to read it.
    If we are going to watch how we rate players performances, there is going to have to be a big change in the way we word things on here!

    I don't like him - by that I mean his public and professional persona; I don't know him as a person. Never took to him, but inwardly respect him for having the ability to do a job I would have loved to have done. I also think he is past it. And I have held that thought for a good few years now.

    And every time I have commented similar though, he has generally gone out and put in a record-breaking or match winning performance. So I'd lump on him for being man-of-the-series in the upcoming Ashes.
