Alastair Cook has spent more time at the crease in this series than any batsman has ever done. During the course of his latest epic, he broke a record previously held by Shiv Chanderpaul, an elfish lefty who once defied the might of India for about three years.
SMH
Cook at the crease for a total of 2,171 minutes, a new world record for a five-Test series, beating Shivnarine Chanderpaul's 2,057 for the West Indies against India in 2002.

BTW, you and Boomer lapsing, don't see that record on

True...but we have to adapt with technology and give cook his dues. Well the Shivster had di record for 8 years and this could be the motivator for him to dig in for the long haul..
