I was not making a solid case. I was simply pointing out 'why not' I bet you if the positions were reversed, everyone would back McCullum to the very end.

McCullum and Cook are polar opposites in terms of captaincy. And the brand of cricket we play is 100 times more entertaining than the English.

but you'd back him even though the stats say not to? You've just proved my point. Thanks.

It only takes around 15 seconds to score a goal from a kickoff, therefore it is theoretically possible to come back from a 10 nil deficit with 5 minutes remaining.  Although this has never happened in the history of top level football, you would back a team to do it - right?
