Mo Yo was a very good player but a bit of a stat padder given his battering of the worst bowling attacks that he played and his failures against Australia and South Africa suggest he wasn't particularly good against high class pace. That said, generally he was very good across the board. Cook too, had his travails against high class fast bowling.

Cook quite clearly imo, neither is a great player of pace but Cook kept the skill to fight off great pacers and survive great pacers and if the conditions were to his liking (IE consistent bounce, fading side ways movement), he kept the ability to go huge. Moyo outside of one series against Ambrose never showed that skill, he always faded mentally when facing a truly great pacer or spinner, he played sideways movement very well but averages sub 30 against the three big bowling lineups of his era, while batting in the flattest era ever, in the middle order... it's a Big No imo.

Myo was fairweather player. Would chose Cook
