Alastair Cook praises bowlers after ninth ODI win in a row

England's one-day international captain Alastair Cook has praised the performances of his bowlers after England beat Australia to record their ninth ODI win in a row.

England now take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series and enjoy the longest winning streak by an England 50-overs side in history, and Cook was keen to praise the influence of his seam attack.

"We had the best of the conditions today but that means nothing - we still had to make the most of it and the bowlers did that," Cook told Sky Sports News.

"They've made my job easier. Steven Finn got the wickets today but all the bowlers bowled well.

"It is really pleasing, since the start of the new year not losing and winning nine in a row is an amazing effort."

The final ODI against Australia is at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
