Alastair Cook has said that the ECB needs to give serious consideration to employing a full-time spin-bowling coach for the national side after the punishment inflicted on the England attack in India.Cook observed how his spinners, specifically Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid, had appeared more comfortable and confident when Saqlain Mushtaq was with the team as a spin-bowling consultant, a stay which ended after the third Test in Mohali and that had already been an extension on the original deal which had only covered the first Test in Rajkot.England have not had a full-time spin-bowling coach since Mushtaq Ahmed ended his tenure in 2014. Saqlain was first used by England last summer when he joined the squad during the Test series against Pakistan and he has made a favourable impression.The coincidence when Saqlain was around and how much better we bowled as a group, thats something the system or whoever needs to look at, in terms of our spinners, Cook said.While Moeen struggled ever to really gain a foothold in the series with the ball, Rashids returns certainly back up Cooks view. Rashid took 18 of his 23 wickets in the series during the three Tests when Saqlain was present. In those matches he averaged 28.67 while in the final two Tests he took five wickets at 69.England used six spin bowlers throughout the series: Moeen, Rashid, Zafar Ansari, Liam Dawson, Gareth Batty and Joe Root. Their combined returns across the five Tests amounted to 40 wickets at 48.10, which was second worst return for a group of English spinners in India, behind the 1992-93 side. On that tour, a 3-0 whitewash, Indias batsmen flayed the frontline combination of John Emburey, Phil Tufnell and Ian Salisbury to such an extent that Graeme Hick emerged as the leading spinner. Salisbury had begun the tour as a net bowler before being drafted into the Test side after Emburey and Tufnell had been treated with disdain in the warm-ups.Significantly, too, the class of 2016 also conceded runs at a higher rate - 3.55 an over - than on any previous tour of India, which meant Cook was unable to rely on them even for control during long days in the field. The lack of control from the spinners had also been exposed during the two Tests in Bangladesh, while there had been the same problem against Pakistan in the UAE last year when Englands quick bowlers had been outstanding but any pressure was released when the spinners bowled.I think everyone can see we are suited to playing in seaming conditions, Cook said. Theres no point hiding behind that fact. These conditions have tested us to our limits and I really dont want to be disrespectful to Mo and Adil but they are not as good as Ashwin and Jadeja yet. They havent quite got the control and consistency, certainly in the first innings when theres not much happening.Mo has done an amazing job for us over a long period in terms of becoming Englands No. 1 spinner. Hes two wickets away from 100 so hes done amazing things and will only get better and better.Without being disrespectful, without two gun, world-class spinners, winning in these conditions is going to be hard. In other conditions with our seamers and spinners, who are decent without being completely world-class, well compete with anyone. But this is as hard as it gets for this side at the moment.Fake Nike Air Max China ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter.

But the more surprising stat to Cook is that he leads the nation in yards gained from scrimmage with 1,130.Cook said he didnt realize that until he was asked about it.Theres some satisfaction but always in the back of your head you know you are capable of doing more, he said. Overall there is still a lot of stuff I have to clean up, but I have been having some solid performances.Cook is averaging 185.7 rushing yards over the past three games, including a career best 267 in a win at South Florida on Sept. 24 . The following week in a loss to North Carolina he became the first running back in school history with 100 yards rushing and receiving.The biggest difference over the past three games is that Cook has been more aggressive. NFL scouts, who consider Cook to be one of the top three backs in next years draft if he leaves FSU early, said they thought Cook was tentative and was just taking what the defense gave him.However, Cook has looked more like the physical and elusive back he was last season, when he set a school single-season record for rushing yards.There were some plays early in the season when he would find a hole, get to the second or third level and some guys who shouldnt have tackled him one-on-one were making the stops, said Daniel Jeremiah, a former scout who now works for NFL Network. Now you see him running with more power and getting more than what the play might be giving him.With 20 receptions at the midway point of the season, Cook is on pace to be the first Florida State running back with 30 or more catches since Lorenzo Boooker in 2006.ddddddddddddCook has 11 receptions the past three games and is averaging 261.3 scrimmage yards in that span.Cook is tied with Ohio States Curtis Samuel for most receiving yards by a running back with 345. His 59-yard reception off a Deondre Francois play action pass last week against No. 16 Miami showed that the Seminoles (4-2, 1-2 ACC) arent afraid to send him on routes downfield, instead of just throwing it to him on screens and flares.Last year he was a great running back. This year hes catching the ball, Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said. Then with some of their quarterback run game, theyre using him as a blocker. Hes a tough kid.Clawson and the Demon Deacons (5-1, 2-1) know all about Cooks big play capability. He had a 94-yard touchdown during the first quarter of last years game, which is the third-longest run in school history.Another thing that pleases Fisher is that he feels like Cook is starting to hit his groove at the right time. Cook struggled during the second half of last season with hamstring problems and missed one game due to an ankle injury but appears to be healthy this year.Cook and the rest of the Seminoles though should benefit from a bye next week before an Oct. 29 showdown with No. 3 Clemson. Last year FSUs bye came early as it played nine straight weeks.Hes 210-215 pounds. He gets his rest, coach Jimbo Fisher said. The number of plays is not a ton, and I know (sophomore running back Jacques Patrick) has been cutting down on some touches lately because weve thrown it a little bit more at times the last couple weeks. Hes never perfect, but hes getting in that groove.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org---Follow Joe on Twitter: www.twitter.com/joereedy and his work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/journalist/joe-reedy ' ' '
