Will Alastair Cook go on to surpass Tendulkar's test run tally?

[Daemon]

Agreed, Tendulkar nuts are very salty

i know it's a stupid reason but the cricket romanticist in me doesn't want this record broken atm by cook the same reason i don't want bradman's 99.94 beaten atm

 

[mr_mister]

Voges has shown how safe Bradman's record truly is


he was only a chance at beating it because he debuted at 37 and that hardly ever happens. and he has no chance of beating it now

 

[Shady Slim]

well yeah that's just my go to example of "romanticistic records i don't want broken for romanticistic reasons"

 

[Coronis]

Tendulkar nuts will always have redeeming aspects. When Cook was getting 10000 runs, he was said to be the youngest. They said Tendulkar would have the record for doing it in least tests. When Cook did it in lower number of tests, they highlighted how Tendulkar was younger.

Except Cook didn't do it in a lower number of tests?

If South Africa bowl all series like they did today he could see his average get up to the 90s again

 

[Kirkut]

To get past Tendulkar he needs to score around 1000 runs every year if he's to play till the age of 37. If he's fit enough to play for England till early 40's like Graham Gooch, it shouldn't be impossible.

 

[Jono]

Alastair Cook has as much chance of doing it as Stephen Cook does.

 

[Pratters]

Cook did it in lower number of innings perhaps. Some thing he did beat Tendulkar at.

 

[Pratters]

No he has a fair chance. 900-1000 runs a year might seem a lot but considering the number of tests England play and the fact that he opens, it isn't.

 

[Jono]

Yeah I guess you're right, Stephen Cook may be a sniff

 

[Coronis]

Nope.

 

[Furball]

Why would an opener play less innings than a number 4?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Why would an opener play less innings than a number 4?

All those innings victories in Australia shafted Cook of another knock.

 

[Pratters]

I argued against Alastair Cook having as much of a chance as Stephen Cook actually.

 

[Pratters]

Just googled. He was the youngest, beat him at that. Initially he was getting it in lesser tests than Tendulkar but that didn't happen. So the other way around to what I mentioned earlier.

Daemon, give me strength.

 

[Daemon]

Daemon, give me strength.

This is either a joke i don't get, or a **** post. I'll let Daemon decide.

Daemon, sort this **** out.

we'll let Daemon be the judge of that

Kohli's getting jealous of all this attention I'm getting imo

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Cook to pass Tendulkar.

Hameed to pass Cook.
