Slow pitch, demoralised, uninterested attack, dead rubber, no real pressure, a chance to boost the personal stats, I said a week ago that this test had a Cook ton written all over it.

100 for Cook in his first and last test can't think of any  other England player to achieve that.

He’s the fifth

But as far as I can tel cook is the only one to score 50 and 100 I’m both tests

He is the second to score 2 50+ scores (the other chap didn’t get 100 though)

The series is won already...Might as well get as many runs as possible. Great farewell being provided by the Indian team to Alistair Cook.

Cook feasting on a flat pitch to massage his stats as has been his way in the last 2 years. Shame he didn't show this hunger earlier this year. Same with Root loves acting the star man on flat pancakes. Been well and truly put in his place by Kohli this series

After a while you start to question if the Indian side actually know the lbw law...

Nothing to do with hunger, been out of form and on a decline, he has realised this and retired after this series. Cook would have had the same hunger over the past 18months but unfortunately he was out of form ( although he does have 2 double tons ) in that time. Shame people can’t just support what a great knock cook is playing and appreciate a all time Legend of the game

Why be nice when you can say something controversial for added internet points.

FYI, There are no such thing as internet points.

I don't see the point in commenting on an internet forum if you're not going to say what you think. Why lie just to "be nice" to Cook, he's not going to be reading this forum anytime soon, he'll be too busy admiring his espncricinfo stats page.
