He was quite opinionated about Alistair Cook becoming ODI captain and how he felt that Cook wasn't the right man. Well Cook has taken basically the same team who lost to Ireland and Bangladesh at the recent World Cup and lead them to series wins over the two teams that played off in the WC final.
Different pitches though.
History tends to remember results rather than pitch conditions, though, doesn't it. And Cook still one, twice, in spite of Atherton's comments upon his appointment, didn't he.
