Alastair Cook does not blame his critics after proving them wrong – Cricket News Update
England’s captain for the 50-overs format, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Close-c51347 fight.
Cook was appointed as England’s ODI captain after the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 decided to step down from ODI captaincy and he retired from the 50-overs format
of the game as well.
This decision by England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) was heavily criticised by a majority of the cricket analysts in the country as Cook has never been a permanent member of the limited overs squad. The cricket pundits believed that the captain should
first of all hold a permanent spot in the team because of his personal performances.
However, the left-handed opener proved everyone wrong by performing exceptionally well in the ODI series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, both as a batsman and as a captain. Being a true gentleman, Cook has taken the criticism positively and did not blame any of his critics
after proving them wrong.
Cook said, “When you pull on an http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 shirt, people are always going to have their own opinions. I don't do it to prove anyone wrong. I do it for the satisfaction that we got in that final half-hour of the game, and you can't replicate that. That is why
you play the game.”
The 26-years-old batsman from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Essex-c783 scored a mammoth 298 runs in the five match ODI series against the Islanders at an amazing average of 74.50 runs per innings. As a result, he remained the top scorer of the series from both sides and was named as the Player
of the Series.
Cook is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Arthur-Percival-Day-c45927 that his team came from a deficit of 1-2 to win the series and said, "That is the first time I have had a really tight scenario in my eight games as one-day captain, and I thought we handled it well. I think the most pleasing aspect is the
way we fought back from 2-1 down in the series.”
