Alastair Cook needs urgently to become more adventurous as Englandcaptain if he is to make the success of leadership that he has made ofhis batting.
But how he does that when all evidence points to a past that hasembraced certainty and eschewed chance is the challenge facing himand England’s management during the Test series against India, whichstarts at Trent Bridge on Wednesday.
Change of that nature is never easy when habits appear ingrained. In2003, Cook captained Bedford School in a match against an Oakhamteam that contained Stuart Broad. Cook made an unbeaten doublehundred, a score almost unheard of in schools cricket. But in reachingthat milestone he essentially sacrificed the game, leaving Oakham fewerovers to make the 300 plus runs needed for victory than he and his teamhad taken in getting them.
In his two years as captain of Bedford, Cook made 2,014 runs in 29innings. Despite his dominance Bedford drew 16 of their 34 matchesunder him (they won 13), which suggests he was not a bold captain eventhen.

Incredibly, Cook’s batting success and the hard work and discipline heused to achieve it is probably why his captaincy is so staid andmeasured.

According to Steven Sylvester, a sports and business psychologist usedby many cricketers, Cook would have gained positive reinforcement froman early age after seeing how his effortful and process-driven methodsbore fruit with his batting, but is struggling now to see why it cannot workfor his captaincy.
“It is like the salesman who hits his targets and goals for fun and thengets promotion to be a manager,” said Sylvester on Monday. “Suddenly,he has to manage people and get them to reach the same targets, whichisn’t as easy especially, as in Cook’s case, if there is this toxic brew of theteam losing and his own poor run of form with the bat.”
Since England began their run of Test defeats in Brisbane lastNovember, Cook has received a deluge of advice, not all of itconstructive. Much has been about him toughening up.
“Cook needs support and care in developing mental softness, nottoughness, if he is going to be a successful leader,” said Sylvester.“Mental toughness, the traditional approach, is limited. Teaching peopleto be tougher, ie going harder, stronger and faster, is old-fashioned.What we need instead is to teach people to be softer under stress, tobecome more flexible and easier to shape.”
For someone such as Cook, a leading chorister before his voice brokethen England’s most prolific Test batsman in terms of centuries, theAshes whitewash was probably the most traumatic event in his sportinglife.
Certainly, few people have skins thick enough to cope with the constantcarping Cook has had to endure now that England’s brave new world hasbeen shown not to contain “beauteous mankind” but the same oldfailings.
“Cook is in a major role transition,” said Sylvester. “From being a single-minded prolific run-scorer he now has to shift to become an inspirationalcaptain. It will take time. Getting runs again will help him but there is stillthat preference of his for not taking any risks that needs to beaddressed.
“Understanding why he makes the choices he does under pressure andwhy he has developed a preference for risk aversion will help himdevelop greater mental strength. Only then is he likely to become theadventurous leader who achieves more with his team and helps them toplay with imagination and not fear.”

To the Editor.Dear Sir,In the past I have been in positions where I have had the unpleasant task of dealing with employees who are failing and find it necessary tofalsify written reports in order to mask their inadequacies and failures. This constitutes gross misconduct.It is disappointing when it occurs and unfortunate that the task of dismissing the individual inevitably falls upon that person's manager.On the few occasions where I have had to deal with these sorts of issues I have felt great empathy for the person and have lost sleep inanticipation of the deeply unpleasant task ahead. In light of this I can sympathise with you completely in the case of Mr Pringle.It is a great shame, but in order to protect your organisation from further ridicule you have no choice but to bite the bullet, call him into youroffice and explain that he was not employed as a writer of fiction and needs to seek a future with another employer.Make no mistake, unless you take the hard decision now, he will continue to damage your organisation until you find that he has underminedyour own position as well as his own.YoursA concerned Subscriber.

Mr Pringle... I wish my performances 10+ years ago at school were still relevant these days, I might well have been getting a call up forEngland, the fact that how I played then is completely different to how I play now is probably the reason!This article really is scraping the barrel on the Cook subject, and the fact that you cant even be bothered to do some decent research to getthe figures you quote correct shows how your racing to jump on the band wagon... the fact that in reality the match you used as yourexample played out completely the opposite to what you suggested makes the whole article rather pointless...As I am sure you haven't developed or changed since school, as you suggest is the case for Cook in your article, please listen to the words Iam sure your old school masters said "please try harder next time Mr Pringle".....

Is your adult self not shaped by your childhood and adolescence, then? Of course it is. It's an intelligent and interesting read. You justdon't like Pringle.

How is an article laced with inaccuracies that basic research could have corrected that in fact the research shows the basis ofthe article to be almost the exact opposite, an "intelligent and interesting read?" adolescence skipping class not becoming a teacher because revisionist history has them with almost perfect attendence. grip, you're attempts to defend Pringle are bordering on the farcical.

So to you an article that is almost entirely wrong which uses its inaccuracies as a basis for its hypotheisis iscolour? Oh and the fact that he couldn't captain his schoolboy team to any discernible success, was obviously inhindsight foreshadowing for his inability to captain "his team". And before you pipe up about his Ashes win andseries win in India, that was well because of ummmm.....what's his name....you know who I mean.

I have no problem with Pringle as such, I have a problem with this article and the lazy journalism shown.I agree some aspects of your adult life are shaped by childhood and adolescence of course and I am sure the reason whyCook has so much talent has a lot to do with how he was nurtured and coached at Bedford School, but to suggest that howhe captains the England test side is similar to how he captained a school side, when he nor the readers know anything aboutthat side and what the side was capable of or not capable of? And then use an example which clearly shows the opposite tothe point you are trying to make... have you looked at the actual scorecard from the game he mentionshttp://cricketarchive.com/Arch... Does that make for an article worthy of being published in a well regarded national newspaper? I am interested to know yourresponse please.

So, you didn't read the difficult bits, then? The bits where the guy points out that methods that have proved successfulin younger life are difficult to abandon later. The stuff about Bedford school is just colour.

Anyone who disagrees with you, yes? Still, don't knock it. You appear to make your only friends you have bycosying up to the other KP mentalists. You certainly don't have time to see any others.

Oh dear, we did get out the wrong side of the bed! Bit bullish! Can't put forward a proper argument so you haveto resort to bullying and being nasty to those I think are talking sense. Just how low will you stoop?
As for being KP supporters, well just shows how little you read what people have put down on these threads. Alot of people are angry at the ECB for what they did and how they carried out their worst. It is not a love-in.Cricket isn't a love-in. You don't treat your senior players like trash and I am not just talking about KP. Whatabout the treatment meted out to Panesar, Finn, and other players in the England side? Money grabbing andpower grabbing of the ICC by Mister Big, Giles Clark Esq. You happy with that carry on? This is not aboutpersonalities. This is about contemptuous actions by the ECB and management.
If you want to support such actions then that is up to you but unless you are place "inside" the ECBestablishment then remember it is the ECB who has told us all that we are "outsiders". So whether you like it ornot, you opinion - just like mine - means nothing to them.
Oh BTW if I want to compliment writers on their posts I will, whether you like it or not. As Senior member of theKeyboard Warriors, I think I have been around long enough to have earned that right!!!

A factually inaccurate and misleading article. Bedford 52 overs - Oakham 60 overs on a very good batting pitch. I am not sure why schoolboy cricket games over 10 years ago are of any relevance - but you could at least try and get your facts right!

For those of us who saw England capitulate at Headingly turning an extremely strong winning position into an embarrassing defeat, the mainproblem is captaincy. You had only to look at the two to realise that Sri Lanka had a captain who understood how to win from England's whowas clueless often with his hands in his pocket. His body language is very negative and England have no chance whilst he remains in charge.

Sadly, I feel that England will struggle.
I mentioned the other day that ECB's (Giles Clarke's) greed and commercialism has been very bad for England…..Pietersen's piece todayunderlines this with his comments about the pitches. Effectively they have been doctored so that less play is lost to rain/dampness, and thishas interfered with nature.
[Doesn't explain why England struggle to get 400 on them though!!]
India have some excellent batsmen - if they escape Trent Bridge (or if Jimmy failed to fire), then it will be a long summer for the hometeam.
We were told Sri Lanka's attack was mediocre - we came off second best. We are told that India's seamers aren't as good asEngland's……..this may be a fallacy; further, their spinners are 5 times better than England's.
Another piece mentioned Duncan Fletcher……..he knows all about England, and most of the England players.
3-1 to India. 5

I do think that Duncan Fletcher may just be the important part of the Indian set up and thus make the difference. Just as Fletcherhad a warm, respectful and successful relationship with Michael Vaughan, he seems to have the same with Dhoni. As you rightly say,he does know a lot about the senior players and will not hesitate to use it. Some have suggested that Fletcher was not in favour ofFlower taking over England? If Cook and Co don't buck up their ideas this could be another very woeful Test.

Just as Ian Chappell said. You either have got it or you haven't, and, there are some things that just cannot be taught. Sadly Cookdoesn't have it and clearly doesn't have the capacity to learn anything. I just wish the ECB would let Cook bat and give the captaincyto someone else.

The biggest worry for me is not Cook's captaincy, it's the ECB and team management who have failed to guide him correctly. Not everygreat player is a good captain, but with some guidance Cook could have been at least a passable captain. As it stands he is looking like beingput down in the record books as "woeful".

I don't haunt these comments pages waiting to pounce on any article as an excuse to vent my outrage onPringle and Cook or to demonstrate my devotion to KP. Clearly your insane hatred of both being directly relatedto the latter. The fact that there are many on here verging similarly on obsession in no way detracts from theunhealthiness of your mindset.
To be honest, I couldn't really give a sh*t one way or the other who is more to blame, the ECB or Pietersen, Ijust put my hand over my mouth and laugh and point at the knicker-wetting outrage of the pro- KP camp.

I think you do. You continue to attack people who do not agree with the ECB line - as fed by DP et al. You callus Cook haters and KP lovers etc etc. Methinks you do not read these posts at all. People are not in one campor another camp, we don't have a love in or a hate in club either. People have constantly said on here that it isnot about personalities but about a sense of injustice! That is the difference. You fail to see that because youdon't want to see it. You just want to be insulting as you have in your post.
BTW you can call me whatever you like because at my age I couldn't give a stuff. I have absolutely no fear ofpeople that resort to such disgusting stuff in an attempt to win an argument. Not that you've attempted tomake an argument yet, just insults. You are just a bully. No more no less. Thus your posts will continue to beheld up in ridicule. If you want to argue your case then argue it. Nasty posts will get your nowhere.
