Australian spin legend Shane Warne has reportedly warned England captain Alastair Cook to expect more defeats if the skipper sticks with his 'boring' approach that he adopted during the 5-0 Ashes washout in the upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka.
Warne, who is widely regarded as cricket's greatest leg-spinner, said that it was important that Cook stamped his authority on the England team, now being coached again by Peter Moores after Andy Flower stepped down following the Ashes debacle, Sport 24 reported.
Warne said that England's style of playing would be a reflection of Cook's mindset and outlook, adding that if the skipper wants to stay boring and be the same old side by bowling wide of off stump and trying to build up pressure slowly then he has chosen the wrong path.
Warne said that Test cricket has evolved rapidly and Cook must sense the moment.
