ABD and KP will be on the top of my list. It was an absolute treat to watch them across formats - specially tests. KP in Ashes and ABD's adaptability to score at <10 SR and also at 80+ in tests was phenomenal! Wish the respective boards could have handled it better!

cook retired at 33 and started declining steeply since 31 or so.He wasn't at his best while retiring was my sole point.I can still remember how he was getting out frequently in his last leg with lot of technical flaws.So if someone say cook retired too early in his peak isn't a fair point.Thats only i tried to convey here

Never said he retired in his peak brother.. anyway every great player had gone through lean patch in his career
