Is there the slightest chance that the unbelievably arrogant Alastair Cook will resign the England captaincy following his side's latest destruction at the hands of their Indian opponents ? Sadly, I doubt it very much.
The current England team is a bit of a mess, but the biggest problem is its leadership. Cook, on form, is a fine batsman at least in Test cricket. In the one day format he is less than adequate and shouldn't be there anyway; as captain, he is a pointless hindrance. His whole approach to cricket is weak and ineffectual; he is utterly risk averse and has none of the drive needed to motivate a side. He is, quite simply, no captain.
Not only should Cook not be captaining the one-day team, he shouldn't even be in it. By all means, retain him in the Test side, but, please, please, please, not as captain. He simply doesn't have the aptitude or skills needed for the job. HE MUST GO !
