He's done it once, it's human nature to get out of the way of something about to hit you.

Re: Alistair Cook
it was a natural reaction yes but being a batsman he should firstly be thinking about protecting his stumps, thats why when they take a quick single they run between the fielder with the ball and the stumps
this is why its a fair wicket

Re: Alistair Cook
Pretty unlucky really. Deserved the 200 imo. I wouldn't have recalled him. Its a bit like those unlucky ones when the batsman hits the ball down the ground, bowler get a finger tip to it, hits the wicket and the batsman backing up is run out.

Keep telling yourself that.

Re: Alistair Cook
natural instinct is to protect your wicket at all costs... fatigue, i think is responsible for the brain fade by Cook.
he looked pretty embarrassed... but never a re-call situation.

so, by ur theory, would u move away from an incoming cross in the goal area to head the ball and win the game?
even if it was travelling towards ur head and a fast pace???

Re: Alistair Cook
Not quite the same i agree, but Cook did have time to make a decision, he just made the wrong choice.
Should always protect his wicket, even if it means copping one.
