There are people who argue that both have been afflicted by the "British loser" mentality, every bit as much as cricket.I beg to differ. Look at football, tennis for one.
And as I say - that's before you even go into the fact that the cricket-playing crowd are often cut from a different cloth, one that's likely to be able to place academic achievement even higher than sporting one.
Trescothick did go to India, he just pulled-out before the Tests. Cook was available, and played - I don't see what you mean there.a) Trescothic couldn't go to India. So what if Cook wasn't available?
b) Is having more able players at your behest not an advantage?
And b), yes, of course it is...
