Vic Marks and Huw Turbervill look at whether England captain Alastair Cook gets the credit he deserves and how he has surpassed 10,000 Test runs

England lynchpins Alastair Cook and James Anderson were up for discussion on the latest episode of Cricket Writers on TV.

Paul Allott was joined by Guardian writer Vic Marks and Huw Turbervill of The Cricketer Magazine to assess whether Cook, the first Englishman to 10,000 Test runs, and Anderson, now perched on 451 Test wickets, get the credit they deserve.

The panel also looked at the pair's strengths as cricketers and pondered if seam supremo Anderson is a better bowler at the age of 33 than he was in his mid-twenties.

Plus, with ICC chief-executive Dave Richardson revealing a two-division Test league could enter the calendar as early as 2019, Vic and Huw debated that would be a positive move for the five-day game.
