Jiju, even Cook could have told 100 excuses ranging from bad pitch to groin itch.... But he is a man of class, he has proved himself on bouncy and spinning tracks. Even during the 5-0 whitewash they suffered last year, he never gave silly excuses. He accepted his and England's shortcomings.

Well done Cook

Indian players including the Master suffers playing on the bouncy pitches abroad.

Alastair Cook though is a well rounded player, who plays the bounce with ease, he plays spin with ease and he plays Australia with ease.

The combination of all these makes him the best batsmen and well rounded batsmen in todays world.

He definitely knows how to handle pressure situations.He is a mature leader-thinking,role playing, motivating, inspirational, focussed and driven. Qualities that separate men from boys... has left many a great players ( so called)in this role of a leader. Keep up the show... keep going.

Why always compare, Dhoni too has delivered 2 WCs especially 2007 on SA with unknown bunch of youngsters. He has an excellent Wkt Keep records especailly as skipper even in Tests. He has played som significant knocks and has a role to play, he rotated his bowlers well, it wasnt just his fault tha our batting failed in Eng and Aus. Why not appreciate every individual for their success rather than comparing. Its an attribute which our kids in India are put to right from the time they start schooling, into thier career and even in personal life. Stop comparing and enjoy every individuals success in their own way.

I suggest pls have a look at Dhoni's batting record abroad.It's pathetic.He is just unable to stand genuine fast bowling particularly short pitch stuffs.His keeping also has detoriated of late.He lacks agility and fitness. However he has one postive in his favour.Mr Srinivasan BCCI chief and the whole & SOUL OF Chennai Superking.No doubt Dhoni is a capable T20 player.Long Live Srinivasan ,Dhoni and their clique and dirty politics .Who is bothered abt Indian cricket?
