Alastair Cook became England's most successful ODI captain with the overwhelming victory over Sri Lanka at Old Trafford, but he was not taking much credit for the remarkable turnaround after the 99 all out at Chester-le-Street, instead praising his team-mates for "putting their necks on the line for me".
Cook missed the Durham match due to a groin injury - he admitted watching on "was not pretty" - and his return could not have heralded a more emphatic upturn in England's fortunes as Sri Lanka crumbled to 67 all out, the second lowest completed ODI innings against England, and the runs were knocked off in 12.1 overs.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Oh he's the most successful ODI captain now? That's surprisingly good actually - I do know that he did well, but didn't know he did that well.
And Poms can win this IMO - SL has been surprisingly spineless if you ignore that one collapse from Poms.

Didn't Jimmy Anderson say that the team needed to give more support to Cooky? Maybe now they are giving that extra % for Captain Cook ....... :-\
