This is very close. Cook for me.

Moooo
Things against Shiv in this comparison:
- Not an opener
- Played for himself rather than the team
- Terrible captain
- A better bowler than Cook
- Insane levels of concentration in the middle
- Better average versus India and in India.

Thought this was a batting comparison. But guess it's my own fault presupposing things.

Can't see any mention of batting in the OP

I guess you still could do this.

I don't think he'd get many votes. Cook beat Kirsten and Chanderpaul has started well.

It's okay...one of the reasons why I listed pros and cons for Shiv.

heh, funnily the output seems about the same, Chanders has the RPI (Run per inning) of 42.38 while Cook the RPI of 42.85, obviously Cook has 1/3 of Chander's not outs due to opening but Chanders also has the average of 34.7 with three hundreds when playing in top 4 over a pretty large sample size (73 innings).
