The word Legend imo gets thrown around far too easily these days but it’s rightly given to Cook - he has been an truely world class player and will be missed , hopefully see him around the town more often now :LOL:

Fair play. The sixth highest test run scorer of all time. The most consecutive number of tests, Most hundreds etc etc. He's bowing out at the right time. It will be interesting next Summer when he's scoring hundred after hundred for Essex and people will be screaming for him to be recalled lololol

I suspect that he will have retired from County Cricket as well before next season.

Rather like Michael Vaughan did, so Cook will soon find that a diet of County Championship doesn't get the juices flowing when you have playing Test cricket for years.

Hope not to be honest, think he would be quite dull. He'll be of to his farm like he does on his time off.

Yep - he farm is around the corner and it’s a very busy one , as for him being dull - he seemed far from it when he was at one of our sports Gents evenings.
 
Apparently, if Cook scores over 15000 runs in the 5th test Not Out he will retire with an average of 100.....:rolleyes:

Some people have too much time on their hands...:unsure::)

So if England bat first and Cook bats every ball of every day and the over-rates are good enough that we get 90 overs a day, he only needs to score at 33.33 runs an over to do it. Easy.

I'd wager that he'd edge one to 2nd slip on 14,999 😀
 
Just as Burns racks up another 50 as well.

Thought Jennings was always going to end up playing with the tour to Sri Lanka on the horizon but is still pretty disappointing. Guess it's Burns and Jennings to open on the next Tour then.
 
Nice 5 wicket haul for Leach with the red ball whilst England persevere with Rashid who has done nothing of note in the tests

All round pretty poor from England selectors - should have given Burns and a n other in the batting line up

If he signs such a contract I would be amazed if he sees it through.

He is a man who clearly realises that there is more to his life than cricket and if he has been at the very top level for 12 years then I would be surprised if he can find motivation in CC cricket in front of two men and a dog in September.
