Gooch versus Terry Alderman was exceedingly ordinary.
Still a billion times better than Michael "The Wicket the Opposition Want to Get" Atherton.

What copyright claim? He hasn't been busted for doing a public service, surely?I hope you get that copyright claim in your favor Rob. I can't wait for that brutal WI compilation. Fast bowling at its best
Do you have any footage of Mike Atherton being run out at Lords vs. Aussie in 1993? My all time humourous highlight of watching test cricket.

Nah the same kid who filed a copyright claim against Justin Beiber did one on me months ago, but now I've filed a counter claim as the kid told me he wouldn't fight it, so i find out this week whether I'm successful, then i can upload long videos on my main channel.
Oh and here's the Atherton vid you wanted

That brings back the memories. The first test match I saw live at the ground. Nestled in a big group of Aussie fans giving Atherton hell as he walked off, reminding him of Mark Waugh's dismissal for 99 a couple of tests before. Brilliant stuff.

Was the same test actually, Waugh's dismissal for 99.
Taylor, Slter and Boon had all made tons. The headline the next day was "Waugh fails".

Oh yes! I was only there for days 3 and 4 and missed most of the Aussie batting, but was instead "treated" to an incredible display of blocks, plays and misses from Mike Atherton, Neil Foster and especially the wonderful batting of Andy Caddick and Peter Such.
Athers getting run out on 99 made the test for me. Wonderful, nay, priceless. Also, Merv Hughes doing interacting with us in the crowd. What a legend.

Well I haven't but I was one of the handful to vote for Cook anyway.

He's still only half way through his Career is Cook...

At the moment, it's probably tight, but Cook possibly has another decade of Test cricket ahead of him, beyond which this debate will be academic.

Hmmm, every time I g00gle 'gooch videos' they're all non cricket related...

To be fair to the squeaky-voiced, moustachioed one he was undisputably the best batsman in the world for a period in the early 90s, even if it was a relatively brief 18-24 month window. & he was facing some pretty serious bowling attacks too.
Over the course of their careers as a whole it'll look like a total non-brainer, but I'm not sure we've ever been able to call Cook the head honcho so far.
