Moores insists Cook is 'resilient'

  • Intro:

    England coach Peter Moores talked after his side suffered a 95-run defeat by India in the second Test at Lord's on Monday (21 July).

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Peter Moores, England coach:(talking about Alastair Cook as England captain)

    "He's resilient, he's strong. He's disappointed like everybody is. I think he'd set his stall out, especially when we were trying to chase down a score to win the game that he was going to be the man to be there do that. I think we saw that yesterday. And I think there was a strong will in the ground for him to do it.... across the country. But it didn't happen. He's played sport long enough to know that it doesn't always happen how you want it to happen. But he's determined to be a part of building a team for the future and that's what we're trying to do. We've seen some exciting players, young players come in. We're not having a senior arm (players) that's particularly firing and we've got some things we've got to sort out. So, I don't think we're going to hide from any of that. Alistair doesn't want to hide from any of that. I think it's a key that we look back honestly at stuff and we start to move forward in the areas we need to."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Peter Moores, England coach:(talking about the senior players not performing)

    "They'll be desperate to start to make a really big contribution going forward. A lot of those young players have come in and done well straight away which is great to see. It's been a frustration for them as everybody else."
