Also not sure the number games will matter too much considering reckon Cook would play similar amount of games the greats played.
Anyway the more meaningful stat is how many test or innings it took to reach the milestone and cook ranks lowly in that stat which explains his low average.
Cooks is remarkable player though since he reached 10k runs with 3 shots and it took what close 6-7 years for teams to actually find his weakness.
Can't see him getting much more now though, life could be really difficult for him now if team bowl really full and slightly wide at him, really struggles to score runs and get him self out when teams do this.
Actually find it remarkable an opener with this weakness averages 45 and play for england more remarkable when you considering his strongest aspect and the conditions he prospers the most his asian and spinning conditions when all the people thought the guy can't play spin lol.”

Cook is still capable of a big score but his average has been going down for some years
