Captain Cook says he's the man to right the ship England captain Alastair Cook still found enough energy to offer a smile - even if it was a wry one - as he stood firm in his belief that he wants to retain the captaincy. Cook and coach Andy Flower's positions will come under scrutiny following England's disastrous tour of Australia. But both received backing from the England and Wales Cricket Board last Tuesday. Cook said he was yet to speak to anyone from the EWCB but had no intention of relinquishing the captaincy. England captain Alastair Cook and his teammates stand with heads bowed during the presentation. "I've been given the vote of confidence by the board, but in football terms that usually means in two weeks you're on your bike," Cook said. I definitely want to try and turn it around. I feel as though I am the right man to turn it around. In the dressing room I feel as though I am the right man to do it. I have a lot of experience as a player. Andy is a fantastic coach and a great man. His heart is in it to turn it around, I think. I hope it's me and him. Cook pointed to the 2006-07 Ashes series - when England lost 5-0 - as a source of inspiration for his men. The 29-year-old played in all five matches of that series before England bounced back to reclaim the Ashes. "I've seen a 5-0 before and I've seen the drive and determination which that caused to a certain number of players," Cook said. Every single player needs to go back and look at themselves and start rebuilding again.
