Former England captain Alastair Cook was one of the many people who criticized Vian Mulder’s promotion at number 3 at the World Test Championship (WTC) against South Africa. Mulder scored 6 and 27 runs in the WTC final.The 27 -year -old is currently leading South Africa in the absence of Temba Bavuma against Zimbabwe.Mulder is in the news to announce South Africa’s innings when he himself was batting at 367 in Bulveo. He was announced on the second day at lunch, when South Africa was 626/5. He was only 33 runs away from Bryan Lara’s 400, which was the highest individual score in Test cricket.“I would have gone to 385, became the second largest, and then declared. Just one thing – I think when I was on that last Test match in the World Test Championship, I said that he is not number three (laughing). He is about to break the record. Cook said on the stick for cricket podcast, “A fair game to say.Former England captain Michael Vaughan also echoed the cook’s spirit and said: “I think I must have been 395.”South Africa won the test by an innings and to win 236 runs 2–0.“I think it is really important to respect the game; let someone keep his record like Lara,” Mulder said.“He is one of the greatest one who has ever played the game, so he deserves it. And yes, I think we are still in a great position to win the game, and it all matters.”Mulder was sad that he had not out of Amla and 311 against England at the Oval in July 2012.“I have worked with Hash [now the Lions’ batting coach] Over the years, and he is clearly a hall-off-fever, “he said.“So it is really special to go before your record. But I always feel that a lot of legends are worth praising. I am not close to a legend in any way, so a person like a hash deserves to hold that record.”
