5 players who could get the highest bid if there was an auction in Test cricket

#2 Alastair Cook

Alastair Cook has been Englamd's numero uno at the top of the order for the past ten years.

Alastair Cook's ODI numbers are unimpressive and T20I figures are dismal. But come Test cricket, the Essex opener is not only a cook, but the 'chef' in all conditions.

12000 runs from 152 Tests with 32 centuries just don't come so easily to anyone. Cook's biggest strength is the ability to score daddy hundreds without breaking a sweat. This is evident from the fact that he has 11 scores of 150+ at Test level including 5 double hundreds.

If he was up for grabs, Cook would surely grab the eyeballs of spendthrifts, for he is an invaluable asset at the top of the order and perhaps the only one in modern day cricket who is looked upon breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record.
