Watch Alastair Cook bowl clean in a village game, 15-YEAR-OLD was not even born at the time that England's icon made his Test debut

ENGLAND legend, Alastair Cook, was bowled clean by a 15 year-old during a match of village cricket on Monday evening.

The 37-year old, who is contracted by Essex, was featured for Bedfordshire Young Farmers CC's Heritage Cup quarter-final match against Potton Town.

Cook, the Essex cricket star, has retired from international cricket for 2018

Cook, one of the most important cricketers in history, is England's leading Test run scorer with 12,472 runs.

Graham Gooch's 20 year-old record of 8,900 runs was broken by him in 2015. He then retired from international cricket three more years later.

He is the fifth highest Test run scorer, and no left-handed batsman has scored more runs in the long format.

He made a good start to the innings for Bedfordshire's 12-over match against Potton, hitting three boundaries in his first 14 balls and scoring 20 runs.

Shackleton was a fast bowler who was able to take four wickets in his four overs and gave away 37 runs.

Town was able to defeat the Young Farmers 26 runs better than Town.
