Cook shows class with memorable knock at Motera

AGENCIES

New Delhi, Nov 20: England captain Alastair Cook came up with one of the most memorable knocks by an overseas player on Indian soil in the first Test at Motera in Ahmedabad.
After India enforced the follow-on, Cook led the England fightback with a brilliant 176-run knock that saved the embarrassment of an innings defeat for the visitors.
Cook was the second youngest after Sachin Tendulkar to reach 5,000 Test runs at age 26. He has Test hundreds in Perth (versus both Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath), Durban, Galle, Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney, Nagpur and now Ahmedabad.
Except in New Zealand and the UAE, Cook averages more than 40 in other countries.
