selfish? wow, england fans are fucked in the head.*
why would you not allow one of your best players ever the chance to have a farewell test on home soil, in a dead rubber? so one grom can have a free hit against an attack that doesn't give a fuck?
*not necessarily your view, i know, but read this shit on the guardian btl, as well

If Cook's retiring, you could say it's selfish that he's playing this week - it's a dead rubber and we need to see new openers. Giving him a swansong seems the right thing in terms of the service he's given over his Test career, but not helpful to selecting the team for the winter.
