#4 Alastair Cook – Can he end on a high?

Alastair Cook has announced retirement after the final Test match at Oval. He is England’s most successful batsmen in the longest format.
He holds the record for the most number of consecutive appearances in Test matches. It will be difficult for England to replace him after his last match.
He is the second most successful captain for England. Cook is the only England captain to win a Test series in India and South Africa.
Cook hasn’t been in great form of late and that’s one of the reasons he has announced his retirement.
Only one batsman has scored a century in his last match against India. Can Cook repeat what Jacques Kallis did? His fans would definitely love to see another century from Cook’s bat. It will be one of the things to watch out for in this Test.
