Shiv needed a Secret Coach

In the early months of this year, with his career seemingly at a crossroads, Cook made his way to a sports hall in Oxfordshire

to consult Gary Palmer.

Dropped from the ODI side and without a Test century for almost two years, Cook was far more concerned about his decline

than his calm appearance may have suggested. The decision to work with Palmer was almost a last resort.

It was Gooch who suggested it.

Sometimes Palmer had to squeeze Cook's secret visits :

in between group coaching of school sides and one-to-one sessions with the kids of wealthy parents.

A freelance cricket coach rarely has the opportunity of turning down work.
