He is becoming next Bradman. He played well against all countries in all conditions. Especially he delivered when needed with big hundreds against top teams australia,south africa etc. The good thing about him is he does not think(like Tendya) if and buts like its end of play, play defensive approach etc. Instead he plays merit of the ball at the that current moment. He does not give respect to bowlers when its not needed unlike Tendya who unnecessarily goes into defensive shell by respect bowlers too much
He will break Tendya and Kallis records unless Tendya realizes and plays naturally without worrying about anything.
Hail!!!! the next bradman Cook. Meanwhile hail!!! Kallis and Sangakkara.
This is what likely to happen in future : 1. 36 yrs young Kallis will break Sachin's record of max number of runs/tons in TEST cricket. 2. Amla Churan will come close to that record. 3. In the next 10 yrs, Cookie Cook would break all the TEST records any batsman could think of. Max Runs, Max Century etc..

hey man u ask other to do so many things which u urself dont follow!
I don't care abt Cook. Once the biggies like Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman, Ganguly were ageing India suddenly found herself in the middle of a fading era. Eventhough Dhoni is a great caption, we dont have enough talent for the boys to play big innings. We are banking heavinly on Viraat and Pujara but they haven't learnt to cope with pressure like our players like Dravid in their prime. We lack winning spirit and get too easily demotivated. Our players are trying to be too defensive when one can judge the ball missing the offstump or the spinners missing the edge of Indian batsmen. We need the same spirit that Ganguly inculcated or Dravid's temperament. Lastly the Coach Fletcher is great but his job is not upto mark.

Its not always possible for only Viraat or Punjara to perform or for them to play long innings everytime they are in the middle. However the problem is that if one player fails we dont have another player to come in and take guard. A decade ago when Tendulkar failed, there was Sehwag, Dravid or Ganguly to perform. Now it is not surprising that either only Pujara or Viraat performs and no one performs. Sometimes the entire batting order fails in the entire series that is unacceptable for a country that is proving to be the best in cricket.

thats not completely correct asthith...in past also sometimes whole team failed...and today to we win...these things happens in cycles...it seems that you are concentrating to much on indian team and therefore miss that what you describe above happens and is happening with other teams like england aus and sa also...
