It could be a boon if he goes into that false-hope as the A team don't have any good spinner.

Don't underestimate Cook, if survives to face our spinners then it will be long series for us.

Many of us have the same feeling, hopefully if it does turn out badly, we can throw the overconfident Koach & his lackeys away from the leadership group & hand someone like Rahane the reins of the test team.

Do you think 0-5 would be enough to get Kohli or Bewda getting a kick from the roles? Bewda would prolly say we won T20, so it was successful tour.

What the hell has Rahane done to deserve captaincy.

On the sort of benign pitch that could convince bowlers they should give it all up and retrain as a plumber, Cook - playing his first innings for almost three weeks - showed the temperament and technique to suggest his game is in decent order going into the Test series. With Essex not playing in the next round of Championship matches - they have a game against India instead - it is quite possible this will be Cook's only match before that series. It was also only his second match for England Lions (or the equivalent) since 2006; he played one in 2010.

In partnership with Nick Gubbins, Cook added 155 for the second wicket in 45 overs. While there was just a little help for the spinners - this is a dry surface and was used for the T20 match here on Sunday - the pair kept the scoreboard ticking over with Gubbins sweeping and Cook cutting regularly. Both also skipped down the pitch to loft over the top on occasions.

Some context is required. The attack, while respectable, largely lacked the weapons to make inroads on such a surface - at this stage of the match, at least - with hardly a delivery bouncing to shoulder height all day. The Lions bowlers may well also be in for some hard work in the coming days.

Navdeep Saini might warrant some consideration in a selection meeting ahead of the announcement of India's Test squad (an announcement that may well be made on Wednesday), while and Ankit Rajpoot have the build and pace to suggest they could be a handful on a more helpful surface. Yadav, too, is a fine bowler, but Cook will know life is going to get much tougher later in the summer.
