Alastair Cook: "I'm the daddy now" Ashes hero Alastair Cook is fed-up of his nice guy image. But as these new photos show: the choir boy has grown up, and small mammals better beware.
Newly crowned Ashes hero Alastair Cook is in no mood for compromise.
Despite his record-breaking run of scores in Australia, the baby faced Essex batsman feels that some people had been secretly questioning his strength of character.
Not any more, they won't.
Cook proudly poses with a Chinese Water Deer that he had shot with a gun. A real gun. It's dead and Cook is the one who killed it. "Take that!" A pumped-up Cook celebrates another Ashes ton by pretending to punch an antelope in the face.
"Some people used to think that I am a bit 'soft' or a walk-over, just because I went to a posh school and sung in the choir. There were those who suggested I might be a bit boring. They must be eating their words now. I have got news for them. No-one disrespects Alastair Cook any more."
The Chinese Water Deer can grow to nearly two feet in height. It was introduced to the UK just over 100 years ago. They are not even British. They have been going round ever since asking for trouble. Well, now they have found it.
The beast found to its cost what a hard–nosed sportsman Cook has become. "Look out ewe!" Cook and his girlfriend warn the local sheep not to underestimate him ... or else.
"It was in the wrong place at the wrong time" laughed Cook. "I felt like killing something and it just appeared from nowhere. I was in the mood and nothing was going to stop me. I thought about killing it with my bare hands but I didn't want to risk getting an injury so near to the World Cup so I blasted it in the gut instead ... with my gun. Tough luck Bambi," chuckled the test opener.
After having his photo taken with the bloodied tiny deer Cook put the freshly dead animal in his pocket and dumped it by the roadside.
"There is no place for weakness, either in cricket or the animal kingdom. The deer hadn't prepared itself for a a fight and it paid the price," added the England captain in waiting. "I might kill another one tomorrow, or maybe a sea lion or a pit pony. There's a mallard in the village where I live that has questioned my ability. It's eaten its last bit of stale bread that's for sure."

Australia’s bowlers were easy meat, so for a sterner challenge England’s captain-in-waiting, Alastair Cook, has been lurking around petting zoos slaughtering harmless woodland creatures.
With such splendid form under his belt an invitation to saddle up for a traditional Royal fox hunt can’t be too far away. The photograph of Alastair resplendent in faux-military uniform, complete with shiny jackboots, releasing the starving hounds will undoubtedly make many an English tabloid heart swell.
What I’m most looking forward to are his future holiday snaps. Imagine a grinning, beanie clad Alastair displaying his superior masculinity clubbing Harp seal cubs on the frozen ice in Canada and harpooning Humpback whale calves in the Southern Ocean.
They obviously breed hard men down Essex way and it’s disapointing that my almost forgotten ancestors from Southern England never brought their lust for bloodsports with them when they eloped to New South Wales nine score and seven years ago.
If they had I might have inherited the ignorance to rid myself of the pademelon grazing on the lawn, the echidna rutting in the shed and those pesky possums scratching up the towering gum in the backyard

This is Alastair Cook looking all proud and psychopathically grinning because he killed a beautiful animal, a chinese water deer, just for the fun of it just because he could.
It is therefore a disgrace that he is representing England as Captain in the Ashes cricket.. unfortunately I did not get to protest him in Birmingham as planned because the match ended two days early and I had planned to protest on the Saturday.. this time I am planning protests on the First and THIRD days (Saturday is the 3rd day) of this Ashes test, so I am sorry for previously not being able to go ahead but the demo will go ahead this time!
