Former England captain Alastair Cook has certainly retired from international cricket. But apart from England county matches, he is making a lot of runs in local matches. Alastair Cook is England’s leading run-scorer in Test matches. In such a situation, taking the wicket of such a great player is like a dream come true for young players. But at the home game, a young bowler pulled off this feat.
In fact, a local politician and writer tweeted the video. In this video you can see that a young bowler fired former captain Alastair Cook. The name of this bowler is said as Skelton. In this home game, Cook was playing for Bedfordshire Young Farmers. This match was played between Bedfordshire Young Farmers and Potton Town Cricket Club.
A video was tweeted after this match. It was said in the tweet that Alastair Cook’s team scored 128 runs for 7 wickets in 12 overs. At the same time, the young bowler, who fired Cook, took 4 wickets for 37 runs. Alastair Cook scored 20 runs before being fired. Bedfordshire Young Farmers won this match by 26 runs.
The bowler, who sacked the former England captain, said: ‘I watched a lot of Cook videos last night. In this video he was giving bowls to the cook. I kept bowling for almost an hour. But he couldn’t get Cook out. Also, Cook hit 2 fours on my 2 balls. When Cook tried to hit fast during the game, I took him out.
