EXPLAINED: Alastair cook baffles fans with bizarre impression while bowling for essex vs kent - The Real Truth

Former England captain Sir Alastair Cook had fans in stitches after bowling an over during Essex's County Championship clash with Kent.

Cook had earlier scored a brilliant hundred as Essex piled on 514 in their first innings, with fellow opener Nick Browne and debutant Matt Critchley also scoring tons. In response, Kent managed to earn a first innings lead as they scored 581, with Ben Compton and Jordan Cox both reaching three figures.

And with the game heading for a draw, Essex captain Tom Westley handed the ball to Cook for an over. The legendary opener is hardly noted for his bowling, having taken just seven wickets across a professional career which has spanned almost twenty years.
