Graeme Swann

Graeme Swann felt he was watching "the Alastair Cook of old" after his record-breaking double-century kept England in control of the fourth Test at the MCG. Cook ended day three on 244 not out - and England on 491 for nine - with the batsman beating Wally Hammond's previous ground-record 200 for a compatriot and then surpassing Viv Richards' best of 209 from any overseas batsman here.
