• ‟ You have to be very pragmatic, because you walk out to bat at the best time to bowl, with a brand new ball, against the best bowlers, who are fresh. And their job is to get you out, so when you fail there's no point beating yourself up.

  - Alastair Cook
  

• ‟ As cricketers we fail all the time. You score a hundred every now and again but you get out between nought and 20 far more often. If you get 50, you feel bad because you should have got a hundred. Even if you get a hundred, you feel you should have got 150. So you're always failing.

  - Alastair Cook
  

• ‟ It's very hard to reflect properly when you're still playing but the hundreds one - when I got my 23rd in Kolkata - felt the most special because it broke a benchmark that had stood for a very long time. It felt good to do something no Englishman has done before.

  - Alastair Cook
  

• ‟ You're there to score runs. If you don't do that over a period of time, people will look elsewhere. That hasn't changed and that'll never change, whether it's myself or Jimmy Anderson, you've got to play to a certain level to be picked for England or even Essex.

  - Alastair Cook
  

• ‟ You're only England captain for a very short space of time.

  - Alastair Cook
  

• ‟ I have achieved more than I could have ever imagined and feel very privileged to have played for such a long time alongside some of the greats of the English game.
