Former England captain Alastair Cook showed perfect reflexes during an interview on the sidelines of an English County Cricket match between Essex and Middlesex.

A miss-placed shot by one of the Essex coaches came at an intense speed towards the interview spot. The red leather could have smashed the reporter’s face to pulp but thanks to Cook’s reflexes things didn’t take an ugly turn.
