Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te BRADMAN JINX a Cook. I te mea he kapua te rangi, he makuku hoki te rangi, he māmā noa iho te kite he aha i whakatakoto ai a Alastair Cook i te West Indies ki te patu. I runga i te Whakamatau Whakamatau Motuhake, i whakaatuhia e Graeme Swann te waa tika i huri ai te ahua o Cook me te peera. Ka mea ia: <unk>E rua tau ki muri i a Ingarangi i Aotearoa, i kii a Brendon McCullum ko Cook te mea tata ki a Don Bradman. 'Kāore anō ia kia eke ki te kotahi taranata mai i tērā wā. Ko te wāhanga tino nui o te hinengaro whakamuri kua kite ahau. Ko te hoa kapa o mua o Alastair Cook, ko Graeme Swann i tohu i te wā i huri ai te āhua o te rangatira o Ingarangi. I whakahaeretia a Rashid ki te tatari. I te wa i heke mai ai te ua i te ata, he maha nga korero mo te mea ka takaro a Adil Rashid, ka takaro i tenei Tohu. Ahakoa he tokomaha e karanga ana kia whakauruhia ia, me tatari te kaitakaro 27-tau ki te mahi i tana tuatahi.

I tatari a Adil Rashid ki tana tīmatanga Whakamatau i muri i tana waiho i waho i muri i te maha o nga tautohetohe i te ra tuatahi. Aue mo te toa. Tērā pea he rekoata pai a Marlon Samuels ki Ingarangi, engari kāore a Darren Bravo. Kaore he 50 o te kaitakaro i roto i nga Whakamatau e rima ki a raatau - i te toharite iti o te 19.75 - na ko wai ka taea te whakapae ki a ia mo te raru me te tarai i te poi whanui mai i a Stuart Broad i a ia e rere ana ki te tohu haurua rau? Ko Kraigg Brathwaite te tuatahi ki te hinga i a James Anderson e poipoi ana i te kaitakaro whakatuwhera o West Indies me te wiri nui o roto. He rā nui mō Grenada. Kaore pea nga kaimatakitaki i te mohio ki te National Cricket Stadium o Grenada na te mea kaore i te waahi o te Whakamatau. I muri i te hanganga i te 1999, i pakaru i te Hurricane Ivan i te 2004 ka hangaia ano mo te 2007 World Cup. I te mutunga, koinei anake te tuatoru o nga Whakamatau kua whakahaeretia e ia, ana i te Turei ko Devon Smith te tuatahi o Grenada i eke ki te Whakamatau i Grenada.

I whakaaturia e Graeme Swann te wā tika i huri ai te āhua o Alastair Cook. Mēnā ka tīpakohia a Adil Rashid mō te whakamātautau tuarua ka waiho ia hei kaitākaro 666 o Ingarangi. Ko Devon Smith te tangata tuatahi o Grenada i eke ki te whakataetae whakamātautau i Grenada.
