However, he was so happy, after England decimated Sri Lanka by 10 wickets at Trent bridge to level the score at 2-2, see Stuart Broad back in the wickets.
Wide broke his duck for the series, on his land, taking two wickets seamers of England - led by James Anderson (three for 24) - reversed out sri Lanka for an inadequate 174.
Anderson has been telling incisions, seeing off the coast of three of the five top six runs between them after Sri Lanka had put on a green field which nonetheless seems to contain some demons.
Broad then moved the promoted Suraj Randiv and Jeevan Mendis, before Jade Dernbach took three last wickets in 10 balls.
Executed the large Tundra highlighted by many reasons looking at losing consecutive England at Headingley and Lord's.
"It is not good," said Cook. "When a bowler takes no wickets is a difficult job and then find you probably hunting a little.".
New England skipper retains the faith off the coast, and expects him to launch again.
"He obtained a record of a day of world class, and it doesn't surprise me if on Saturday, it will bang, bang, bang, bang - and takes a 'five-for' out of nowhere." It is a fantastic bowler. »
There were calls for England to take account of changes in the selection, to try to stay alive in the series. But they gave broad and others another chance.
Cook explained: "when we saw the pitch - which is exactly what we asked for — it is very clear that we must play our four seamers."
"The Member can take a lot of credit for that - it was very brave to let much grass on."
Cook tried to note also, however, that the surface not were as many might find problems early in the Sri Lanka - against Anderson in particular.
Of course, it does not appear to be very evil then as Cook (no more than 95) and Craig Kieswetter (72no) have been blazing their way to a record unbeaten stand of 171 rushing to victory in only 23.5 overs.
"I thought that this land was more flat that I played and came to bat really nicely," he said.
"It was just the first overs shortly with the white ball, as it has done a little bit."
"He had just a few carry in it, and I believe that Sri Lanka could have looked at and thought that he did much more that it actually did.".
In Manchester, where the field will be something of an unknown for the most part after be turned 90 degrees last winter, Cook said: "we want to just a few carry on it."
"Many the fact of this window here, but the way we played in the end proves that it is the best, that we played four games."
