Cook for top test run scorer?

He's nearing 10,000 runs now and he's still not 31 years old.

He's less than 4,000 runs off Ponting (2nd) and 6,000 off the top of the list. If he can keep scoring 1,000 runs per year, he'll make it.

Root isn't 25 yet and he's nearing 3,000 runs and he's going at 1,000 runs a year too.

Both of them have a serious chance to top the list if they keep going long enough, especially if they keep playing on dead pitches like this one!

Seriously, a couple of series against Bangladesh, WIndies, Pakistan and India will see him well on his way.

Not sure how you got Pakistan in that list. His avg vs Pakistan before playing on this road was 36... Let's judge him vs Pakistan bowlers after the remaining two games and England series next year.... Last time pak were there, pak bowlers had cook in their back pocket

Ok, switch Pakistan for Sri Lanka then!

But he looks in imperious form.

Don't get me wrong, with the way he plays in South Asia he may well hammer the pak bowlers around like the others... But we'll see

Junction,

I did when you put your other article up... Didn't get response. Problem is OP is hardly on there so when he does come back he misses most comments. Why don't you create a 2nd test match article and we'll all use that instead

Personally don't think anyone should be banned from match threads, regardless of their opinions.
