Yes - the great shame about the first three years is we don't know how he'd have got on against Lillee and Thomson and the 1976 West Indians. He was 42 by the time he got the two year ban but his county form was such that there were still those who advocated his return when the ban ended - and Cook is 33 - he'll be a long time retired!
Boycott is a legend. He hit 104* against an attack of Roberts, Holding, Garner, Croft aged 40.

Cricket was different then. Cook cost Pietersen his career. Don't bring politics into it. This is about their batting.
Cook is the reason that Pietersen was ever invited back into the fold in the first place.

Bar one spectacular innings in Mumbai, it wasn't worth it.
