Cork says:
"Fletcher is wrong to be worried about the number eight batsman," added Cork.
"If the top six or seven batsmen do not provide the majority of England's runs, change them.
Why are we worried about number eight getting 20 runs extra? Fletcher needs to sit down with the selectors and re-assess how England are going to get 20 wickets. I like Ashley as a person but the second Test negativity started when they picked him ahead of Monty."
And Cork, who took 131 wickets in 37 Tests for England, says he has real concerns regarding England's attack ahead of the third Test in Perth, which starts on 14 December.
"We have two bowlers in a bit of nick at the moment, you know what you will get with Andrew Flintoff and Matthew Hoggard," he said.
"But Jimmy Anderson looks as if he is trying too hard and he is not getting the ball in the right area. And the worst worry is our strike bowler, Steve Harmison, as he is not hitting the wicket and not bowling at pace."
Will someone please give this man a phone and Duncan Fletcher's mobile number.
