The Ashes 2013: Top 5 batsmen to watch out for

Australian Test Series Squad Announcement

1. Alastair Cook

England v India: 3rd npower Test - Day Three

The England captain stamped his supremacy with over 750 runs, over 300 more than the second highest run-getter in his side, in the Ashes of 2010-11. He was deservedly the man of the tournament and made the standout contribution in England’s Ashes victory on Australian soil. He is the captain of the side but there has been no change in his hunger for runs.

His ability to anchor the English innings as an opener makes him a match-winner. He eases the pressure on the middle order with his consistency. He is temperamentally the greatest Test batsman and absorbs the pressure with ease. The likes of James Pattinson and Mitchell Starc will be trying the utmost to get his prized scalp.
