Very good number three. He was a perfectionist and put so much pressure on himself. The story goes that he was in the nets at Adelaide in 2013/14 facing a bowling machine delivering balls at 95+ mph at his body, literally torturing himself. We hung him out to dry after that - and forced him to open with Ian Bell in the West Indies in 2015, and then just discarded him. Very sad.

This usually happened because he got out many times on his off side shot, anyone can have doubts on his technique after failure.

A lot of people were questioning Cook's place in the England side before this series. He had a run of poor scores the previous English season, but turned it around with a century against Pakistan final Test of the summer. All five Cook's centuries against Australia were made in Australia, and he made one on each of the main Test grounds. Can't be too many overseas players who've done that.
