"This Is What You Get Paid For": Australia Great Tears Into Alastair Cook For Defending Bazball
Former Australia player Mark Waugh heavily criticised ex-England player Alastair Cook for defending Ben Stokes and Co. despite their poor show in India during the five-match Test series. "There's a little bit of the human element that comes into it. We all sit here now away from the emotions of the game. We sit here at home watching tele (TV). I am not defending England, but they have been away for getting on to eight weeks. It's a tough tour; they're not robots. I am not defending their performance but there is human element of wanting to get home and to get out of pressure," said Cook during his analysis on TNT Sports.
