England’s skipper Alastair Cook scored the slowest fifty of his career today, taking 171 deliveries to reach the milestone. Cook, in the pursuit to save the Vizag Test, batted so slowly that he could give Internet Explorer a run for its money. Here are some of the best quotes on Alastair Cook that were never said.
