Alastair Cook is the ONLY batsman to score a hundred and a fifty in both his first and last Test match. #CookRetires

All this talk of getting Cook to reconsider his retirement is rubbish, let the man retire on his own terms. He won’t get a better chance to end his career on a high as he is in this Test. #ENGvIND #CookRetires
