Alistair Cook is more talented than Kevin Pietersen : James Anderson

International Coach
For me 'talent' incorporates a lot of stuff, including temperament and concentration. Obviously Cook has those qualities in excess where Pietersen doesn't.

Pietersen won't wear this, being the egotistical soul he is. This will split England in two, divide them completely.

It's all over for them now. Downhill from here.

Even if people think discipline and temperament are just as much a talent as strokeplay, colloqiually it's not used in that way.

When someone says about a 14 year old "this kid is very talented, we should nurture him" you don't think "he doesn't get sucked into half volleys outside off stump". You think "he can pull a ball off a length better than most kids his age."
