Cricket Tycoon

Alastair Cook made batting for hours look easy. He was not everyone's favourite batsman to watch. He was not flashy, he did not play many fancy shots, and sometimes he took forever to score. But once he settled in, getting him out was a real headache. He scored a century on his Test debut against India in 2006, and then scored another one in his final Test, against the same opposition, in 2018. 12,472 Test runs, 33 centuries, 161 Tests. Ridiculous numbers for an opener. And in the 2010-11 Ashes in Australia, he made 766 runs in five Tests, in Australia's own backyard. He had his weaknesses, especially outside off stump. But his patience, and his ability to grind out runs, were incredible. How many modern openers would have the patience to bat the way Cook did?
