Alistair Cook is better than Bradman

cook has fallen a bit since we discussed this the first time

The last twenty-months have not been all that kind to Cook. His Test numbers since March 13, 2013 have been disappointing. He has played in 21 matches, scored just one century and has averaged 31.89. His ODI numbers are even worse, 22 matches at an average of 29.95 with a high score of just 64. On top of this, he has also taken quite a beating in the press over his captaincy.

It was the same Press that elevated him to Bradman status !

So, Cookie still needs 5 more centuries to surpass Bradman. It has been slow going as of late only managing 2 Test centuries since the start of 2013. He does have some nice numbers against West Indies with 4 centuries and a 58.35 average.

That really made my day..
Had a hearty laugh read it over again for another round of laughter...
So Bmac..wassup next..??
