England Test cricket captain Alastair Cook was hit by the curse of the commentator, after he was dismissed immediately after Test Match Special summariser Geoffrey Boycott had backed him to reach his century.
The moment came with Cook on 96 during England’s first innings in the second Test match against Australia at Lord's.
