Alastair Cook has been taking some stick for an interview he gave to the Times magazine on Saturday, in which he suggested that England’s cricketers may go on strike if the international schedule is not reduced.
However, what the detractors have missed here is that Cook was not complaining about his own workload, but that of his teammates.
He even acknowledged that he is ‘pretty much the only one who’s been able to play and to enjoy the experience of winning.’
I would say he is perfectly justified in his complaints. This is a team game, after all.
I have more of a problem with something he says later, that he wants to ‘retain his low-keyness.’ If he’s serious about this, perhaps it might help to avoid top celeb photographer Rankin and the cover of the Times magazine?
