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 hope I don't get banned for this...

frustratedashell · 11/09/2018 01:26

Oooh!

delphguelph · 11/09/2018 01:28

Meh. On paper he's totally my type button the flesh, not so much. Dunno why.

Weird, his wife's name is only a couple of letters diffent to mine...

Brilliant, pork

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 11/09/2018 01:34

Definitely hot.

Well, I'm not sure if he's hot, or handsome! His jawline and cheekbones are pretty spectacular. Why couldn't we have had him instead of Swann on Strictly?!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 11/09/2018 01:37

Looking at that picture, where on earth are Broad's collarbones?

OlennasWimple · 11/09/2018 01:50

I wasn't looking at his collarbones, Polka

DappledThings · 11/09/2018 07:53

Definitely. And so much better now because the age gap seems less. When he made his debut at 21 and I was 27 it seemed a bit wrong!

My friend taught him A level Economics.

KeithLeMonde · 11/09/2018 07:56

Hot :) have you seen the man's arms? They are a thing of beauty.

firehousedog1 · 11/09/2018 08:03

breakfast thank you so much. That photo has made my morning Grin Alastair definitely has the best body of the three.

Oh I agree the punditry is unlikely, but a girl can dream.

Dobbythesockelf · 11/09/2018 08:22

Not hot but he has always come across as a down to earth nice guy. Brilliant cricketer as well of course.
Broad is hot. Anderson isn't bad either.

Was so nice seeing the crowds reaction to his century yesterday and then the Indian players lining up to shake his hand when he got out.

Ifailed · 11/09/2018 08:29

Let's hope his wife, Alice, whose about to give birth to their 3rd child today, isn't on here to see a load of random women drooling over her husband.

KeithLeMonde · 11/09/2018 09:28

Ifailed I don't think anyone has said anything offensive have they?

People are welcone to drool over my husband if they want to

firehousedog1 · 11/09/2018 09:34

Its only a bit of fun. She let him strip for charity so i'm sure she'll be fine with a few anonymous woman on mn admiring him. At the end of the day she is the one he takes to bed every night.

QuantumWeatherButterfly · 11/09/2018 09:45

And I'm pretty sure that she's probably noticed already that her husband is hotSmile

Dobbythesockelf · 11/09/2018 09:51

Why would she be bothered about women drooling over her husband? I mean I'm sure she knows he's good looking and I doubt she's worried that he is going to see a few comments online and run off into the sunset with userxxxx
Might keep her entertained in labour. Nobody drools over my dh as far as I'm aware.

Blobby10 · 11/09/2018 09:54

Hot!! Made me interested in cricket for the first (and last ) time when he was captain Grin. And he speaks properly when interviewed - none of the mumbling incoherent ramblings we used to get from footballers other sportsmen

ElizabethDarcy88 · 11/09/2018 10:07

Yep. He's hot, although I love Stuart Broad.

firehousedog1 · 11/09/2018 10:09

Oh no. I've just been on twitter and someone has posted an old pic of Alastair posing with a dead fox he shot. I know he's a farmer but I don't like it when people pose for a photo with a dead animal. Little bit disappointed now Sad

I have been in a swimming pool with Jimmy Anderson and Alistair Cook, I didn't want to get out and was getting even more wrinkly than usual! I was in a lift with DD and Alastair Cook, she was about 6 and did a little "England!" chant and he said thanks to her and gave her a lovely smile. We wished Freddie good luck one morning before a test day and discussed the weather and DH got me Graham Swann's autograph. This is what happens when you hang around the Marriott Hotel during matches at Lord's.

Ifailed · 11/09/2018 15:09

Its only a bit of fun
How would you feel if a bunch of men, who are also parents, posting similar comments on here about a women athletic ?

Dobbythesockelf · 11/09/2018 15:12

What does being a parent have to do with It? No one is making overly sexual comments literally they are just saying that they find him attractive. My dh finds Rachel Riley attractive, if i heard him say to a friend "she is hot" I wouldn't think anything of it.

firehousedog1 · 11/09/2018 15:38

Is political correctness taking away the right to admire the opposite sex now? Shock

FrancesFryer · 11/09/2018 16:35

Not Alistair Cook

Jos Butler on the other hand Smile
