Pietersen vs Cook, who had the better test career?

[PlayerComparisons]

Who had the better/more valuable test career?

Cook vs KP is similar to Dravid vs ABD. KP and ABD were probably more talented but Cook and Dravid had the better careers.

Cook because he came from the right sort of family.

Pietersen is a bit better of a batsman. "Better career" probably falls more in favor of Cook though just due to sheer Test spam number of Tests played.

Cook. I'm not going to pretend we churn out top/middle order bats of Pietersen's quality or anything, but we've never even looked like finding someone who can come close to doing what Sir Alastair did for us

@kyear2 interested on why you voted Pieterson

Given the phrasing of the question, surely there’s no valid argument but Cook?
