Cook's series quite similar to Younis Khan's in England last year. Big difference that the series is gone obviously.

I like Cook so much more than any of the Australian players

Great when he gets hard and fight. Love me some good hard Cook.

What's the defence? That he had earned the right to be aggressive?
Apparently it was "the right shot, just badly executed", as if Ali hadn't hit almost every single one of his shots beforehand in the air near fielders without control.

Tbf it was a half tracker. I had already foreseen worse potential dismissals during his innings.

Also just not true at all. Should've been looking to hit it a lot squarer, making it a different shot entirely.

Ultimately, there's probably a reason there's not a common name for the shot he played.

Some bollocks about taking the attack to Australia. Because 20 off 15 balls will help us win this Test Match...
Nah **** that. He bats 45 minutes at that rate you’re a mile ahead in the game. He does what he’s been doing and he gets single figures after half an hour and achieves nothing, because Cook is going to keep on the way he’s going regardless.
