Cricket- Cook dedicates century to Gooch

Alastair Cook whose 118 put England in the driver seat of the 2nd Test against South Africa at Kingsmead dedicated this century is for Graham Gooch.

According to Cook, his present success is entirely due to Gooch’s dedication and the knowledge he has imparted as a batting consultant to the England team.Graham Gooch has also worked on Cook's batting in Essex.

Cook reportedly told a news conference at the end of the days play that thanks to Graham Gooch, he has slightly different trigger movements, alignment and back lift and attributed his 10th century to these major changes.

Happy New Year Ottayan. Wishing the best in the year to come.

Also wishing for BCCI to become over powerful and takeover the rest of the cricket boards worldwide.
