Simon Cook has had a dream start to his international career. He came
in as a replacment for Glenn McGrath for the 2nd test against New Zealand. He
took 7 wickets in his first game, including a career best 5/39 in the
second innings. However, Cook has had a hard struggle to get into even the
New South Wales side this year. He broke his ankle bowling in his first year for
the Blues, and has found it very difficult to recover. He has always been
underrated, some Shield coaches believing he isn't even a player up to
First Class standard. However Cook has proved them wrong in emphatic style.
(Barry Anderson , Dec 1997)
First-class debut: Victoria v Queensland at Brisbane, 20-23 November 1992
Joined New South Wales: 1995-96.
