10 best exponents of the cut shot in cricket history

5 Alastair Cook

England opening batsman Alastair Cook will go down in history as one of the greatest opening batsmen to have ever played Test cricket and with 11629 (and counting) runs under his belt, it won’t be a surprise.

At the same time, he is also one of the best exponents of the cut shot and over the years, he has played that shot to great effect all over the world.

Bowling short and wide to Cook is the worst mistake a bowler can make and more often than not, he is quick to capitalise on those deliveries with one of his favourite shots.
