Alastair Cook. Hot or not?

So England cricketer Alastair Cook seems to be in the news today. Retiring from cricket after this match and he got a hundred on his last bat today. I think I've got a bit of a crush on him. He's tall, dark and got a bit of a boyish look about him. What does everyone else think? Is he hot or not?

I thought you were talking about Alastair Cook the writer and commentator. Who is dead 😀

Hot! And only 33.
Good bloke all round. Proper gent so I'm les to believe.
And hot.

He’s very very handsome, but he looks better with his hair a bit longer than it is at the moment.

Jimmy Anderson & Stuart Broad are both very easy on the eye, too.

Hot

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 10/09/2018 22:29

I've never felt the same about cricket since AC, Stuart Broad and James Anderson stripped off for charity....

User1983 · 10/09/2018 22:31

Was hot but now not as hot. A good farmer family man though which is lovely.

Yeah apparently he is meant to be a nice guy. Apparently he works on his father in laws farm in his spare time. Sounds like a down to earth guy.

bonnief yes James Anderson and Stuart Broad are both hot too.

Very hot indeed, as I was only telling DH earlier (which pleased him no end).

TokyoSushi · 10/09/2018 22:38

Very hot, in a posh boy kind of way!

Hot. Very much so!

QuantumWeatherButterfly · 10/09/2018 22:42

So, so hot. I especially used to love the way he called for TMO reviews. I was gutted when he resigned the captaincy and I didn't get to watch that anymore (it's probably on YouTube for when I need a fix should anyone want to check it out.

I'm really hoping he goes for a career in punditry now so I can continue to drool as he would do an excellent job I am sure.

He also plays the clarinet.

lastqueenofscotland · 10/09/2018 22:43

So not

I'm not sure he will do punditry. He will probably retreat from the spotlight to the farm. He comes as someone not seeking fame.

Yeah, Breakfast more about the stripping please...maybe with his clarinet placed discreetly ??

BonnieF · 10/09/2018 23:02

I agree firehouse

Cooky has never been particularly comfortable in the spotlight. I can see him emulating his mentor, Graham Gooch, by becoming England’s batting coach. That would suit him very well.

PorkFlute · 11/09/2018 00:06

He looks like Princess Diana with dark hair.

Davros · 11/09/2018 00:35

And he was a boy chorister. Imagine him singing you to sleep?
