I am getting a little sick of listening to voices which are putting down Cook for scoring double hundred in a Dead Rubber!
As if those runs are useless - so what is expected of England?
Rollover and play dead?
And this applies to all series where a result has been decided. We cannot downplay or devalue a contribution like that. In my view, if Cook or anyone else helps England win this Test then they have done their job.
Here's how even a contribution in a Dead Rubber can make a difference!
