On Day 3 of the ongoing England vs Pakistan Test match in Birmingham, Cook points out the lack of centurions in recent times for the England cricket team in Tests.
England has been dominating throughout the Test series against the Babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team. Ahead of the series, former cricketer Stuart Broad predicted a whitewash against the touring side. As of now, the Three Lions are expected to prove Broad's prediction right, as they are already leading the series by 2-0 and are in the position to claim the remaining match as well.
Alastair Cook explains the crisis of hundreds in England Test team
"I think it's a whole thing in the team at the minute, the lack of hundreds and whether that's down to the conditions they're facing and the fact that the ball is staying hard throughout the 80 overs, the majority of the time."
Dan Lawrence looked frustrated as he was dismissed after scoring a half-century
In the first innings of the ongoing Test match, Emilio Gay, Harry Brook, Dan Lawrence, Jamie Smith, and Ollie Robinson all got their half-centuries, but were not able to convert the momentum into a hundred. Cook also made it clear that a hundred could secure a place in the team for the next assignment.
"I just think a lot of those players are just people like (Jordan) Cox and him who are on the verge of cementing their place. You only really cement it with big, big hundreds. So he'll go to bed tonight," the former opener added.
