i very much doubt 26 test hundreds havent all come against poor oppo ???
Why's his average considerably lower against AUS, SA and NZ?

But he bullies the also rans like WI and IND

Achh! Boring or not - a test hundred is a big achievement for Cookie.

I don't care about the opposition - well played Cookie - I hope that's the start of a new chapter!

Celebrating a 100 against ICC ranked #8 side... Embarrassing

So if you were top of the league mid season, playing against 8th place you wouldn't celebrate a hundred? Get over yourself Gerry. You can make some insightful comments at times but the majority of the time your comments contain such little value and you post things to create a reaction.

I really do feel for you as you use this forum as a platform to be so bitter about things rather than try and share success and enjoy the game of cricket. While people on here with be nationalistic and support their country or their favourite players, they are also cricket lovers and will always celebrate a performance regardless of nationality. You on the other hand only celebrate certain performances. You have a very blinkered view and one day you will open your eyes and think what on earth was I doing.

Cook's 26 100s is more in part to modern day England playing more Tests than years gone by. Had England played 12/15 Test per year 20/30 years ago, Boycott would've got 50 100s

stats can always be manipulated into any way u want them.

the old 100 and out, what is it about reaching the milstone that makes players switch off. Is the next target 150 or 200?

Feel for Cook (shocking I know), he knows he should have been there in he morning. Felt for mo too, he looked like he was cruising for a 100. WI day in the end unfortunately for team ECB. England could pay for not having a spinner though and no batsmen left so biif is on and bowling by lunch
