Alastair Cook 'Bit-Bored' With Joe Root's 'Deluded Positive Talk'

By IANS News April 05, 2022 • 12:30 PM View: 2462

Former England opening batter Alastair Cook feels Test skipper Joe Root and interim coach Paul Collingwood are deluding themselves by talking about the positives in the team's recent 0-1 away defeat to the West Indies in the three-match series.

Following two draws, England -- already reeling under the criticism of a 0-4 Ashes thrashing in Australia -- lost the third and final Test at St George's, Grenada by 10 wickets with the tourists scoring 204 and 120 in the two innings.
