Yeah I did - that 200 we bowled some of the rankest garbage at him.That's probably why I think that way. I probably do underrate him but he had a pretty poor series, we obviously had a plan of bowling short of a length and get him driving where he did not look strong at all..
Fair enough, but the guys gone around the world and scored runs everywhere. He's scored centuries against every test playing nation and averages over 40 against everyone other than Pakistan and New Zealand. The only country he's not scored a century in was the UAE and he averages over 60 in arguably the two hardest tours for an English batsman, India and Australia. I think it's a little disingenuous to him to suggest he's as limited as you did earlier, the weight of runs on every single variety of track argues otherwise.
This year has (so far) actually seen him score the least runs at a lowest average in his entire England career, which is probably why you've not seen much of him, he's been in poor nick.
It's the sort of season that will normally see Cook go away and work on his technique and game with Graham Gooch and then come back a better player for it, I really wouldn't be surprised to see him leading run scorer in the winter.
Also, whilst looking at those stats it appears Cook has a higher average if he loses the toss than if he wins it, bizarre.
