Goodbye legend Alastair Cook
Some people are born to give up their self-indulgence for people. Someone in the field, someone in politics, someone in economy, literature, science or social service. Someone else gave himself up in the playgrounds of the playground. England’s former captain Alastair Cook is one of the sure-to-be ratings of the last category (only in cricket).
Those who are in the field of play, they are always less familiar with two things. In-form and Off-form The form will be off form. That’s the fate. Career Off-form has been seen from Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, and all the Rathi-Mahrathii. Alistair Cook’s colleagues, who are colored by the age of 33, do not focus on their previous situation.
No matter how big the sport you are playing, when bad times come in the carrier, there will be a four-way attack. A novelist can understand what time he has passed. From all sides, when sharp arrows of one side will come in front of you, then you will not feel completely alone in the world. The Aponjonites continued to cut the vaccine-tip at that time.
Alistair Cook has passed through such circumstances in the last few years. Kenyanton oval on the last ball of the century probably gave the last innings of life. But before that, he had to wait 17 innings to reach the three-figure house. Calculating time is about 10 months. In December last year, against Australia
Cook was never quite in the 10 innings before. One of his successes in the Ashes series was also influenced by the team. Lose one after another. England’s former to present-nobody is in the fray to criticize Cook. From Michael Vaughn to Nasser Hussain – everyone said it was time to truncate Cook.
When Critics were being crashed all around, Cook then only made an unbeaten 234 runs in a very human inning. Immediately close the critics face. England had a draw in the Ashes series. England’s one of the greatest openers of all time lost the game after 244 runs. Then in 17 innings, there is no bigger score in his bat.
The highest score was 70 runs against Pakistan at Lord’s. Leeds had 46-run innings. But he showed complete failure in the current series against India. 13 and 0 runs in the first test. In the second Test, 21 runs in 1 inning. 29 and 17 in the third Test and 17 and 12 runs in the fourth Test.
Now though the England team was successful, One after the other was winning. That’s why the criticism of the criticism came less hard than the Ashes, to Cook. Nevertheless, after the failure of the fourth Test, Alastair Cook announced his departure. At the age of 33 only After the Kenyanton Oval said he will not play international cricket. However, if the criticism did not happen that way, then he could have played for more than two-three years.
How did he look at the last Test of his career? India, who started with the Century in the first Test, was looking forward to seeing what he was doing in the forthcoming Test. Cook, who scored 60 in the first innings of his career in Nagpur in 2006, made 60 in the first innings. In the second innings, unbeaten 104 runs Test was drawn
India’s opposition to the last Test In the first innings 71 runs. Could not stay unbeaten in the second innings Got out. He made 147 runs. The event is almost one. One century with two half-centuries in two innings Alistair Cooke closed his own history page as it opened.
Already in the history of many laughter and crying Total era career 2006 to 2018 161 Test matches. In the innings, 291 played. Total run 12 thousand 472 Average of 45.35 Highest run 294 Um, did not go to the Triple Century. He scored 33 centuries and 57 half-centuries. Five of them double century 92 in ODIs 324 runs at an average of 36.40 Highest innings 137 Fifth Century with 19 centuries Cook, who played in the last ODI in December 2014, Unfortunately, he could not play a World Cup. T20 played only 4.
Statistics show that Alastair Cook was a Test specialist. Test cricket continued till 4 years after leaving the ODIs. The achievement of all that is in the cricket format. England captain was already included. He captained the highest number of 59 Test matches for England. Of which 24 have won. 22 lost. Draws 13 matches Mike Atherton (54 Tests) is behind Cook, who leads the most matches.
Alistair Cook was captain of England’s one-day team. From 2010 to 2014, he led the team in 69 matches. Of which 36 have won. 30 lost and tie 1 match. The result was 2 matches. Cook is at number two on the list of most ODI matches for England. Eoin Morgan to one number
Not only the leadership aspect but also the fact that if an English cricketer is able to reach an English cricketer in the history he has written, He has played more than 150 Tests as an English cricketer. Most of the 161 Test matches have been played. James Anderson is in second place with 143 Tests behind James Anderson How long can he play, enough suspicion. Perhaps the record of Cook’s highest Test match will remain. Cook is much behind in the one-day game.
But Alastair Cook has elevated himself to a place in English cricket, which is not really possible for another English cricketer who touches it. Because, England is the oldest team in Test history, but has crossed the milestone of 10,000 runs. Only one English batsman has scored. He is Alastair Cook.
Before Cook, Graham Gooch, 8, 900, was the highest score for English batsmen. Cook was the first to cross the 10,000-run milestone for England. After the departure, he crossed the 12,000 runs. His name is shining 12 thousand 472 runs. He is at number 5 in the list of highest run-getter in Test cricket history.
Cook, who came in at 5th position behind Kumar Sangakkara in the Oval Test against India, came out in the fifth position. Sangakkara scored 12,400 runs The English batsman made 147 runs in more than 72 runs. At the same time, the highest number of English batsmen, including Malik Koues, Kevin Pietersen is second in the list with 23 centuries. Although Cook is ranked 11th in international cricket,
It is a matter of great reliance on a team that is a batsman in the team. A big umbrella on the head. Alastair Cook’s confirmation, the umbrella will be removed from the England cricket team’s head.
In what he has achieved in his 12-year career, at least in England he will be considered as a national hero. Alastair Cook, who played the last shot, played the last shot today (Monday). India’s inaugural off-break bowler Hanuma Bihari, caught Rishav Pata forever caught by Cook’s stance forever. Looking at Bihari, leaving Cook to leave the field, Cook might say, ‘You are the start, I am Sarah ….’
