Alastair Cook: 'Warner has disrespected us'

Alastair Cook concedes that England were outclassed in their 381-run defeat in the first Ashes Test, but feels that David Warner's comments were "disrespectful".

Alastair Cook has admitted that England deserved to lose the first Ashes Test to Australia, but feels that criticism of their performance by David Warner was "disrespectful".

Mitchell Johnson starred again in Brisbane as the hosts bowled Cook's side out for 179 in the second innings to secure an emphatic 381-run victory.

After the left-arm paceman had roughed up and twice dismissed England batsman Jonathan Trott, Aussie opener Warner said that the Warwickshire man's showing was "pretty poor and pretty weak".

He also claimed that the tourists were playing with "scared eyes", but Cook has insisted that Trott, and England collectively, will bounce back in the five-match series.

"It's a very disappointing game for us," he told BBC Sport. "We had a good first day, but Australia have outplayed us since then. We didn't score enough runs.

"Trott has things to deal with. He's a quality player, you have these blips in your career. He will bounce back. I can look back at a number of games when we have bounced back from defeats.

"There was a lot of things said that we think have been disrespectful, but you have to give the Aussies credit for how they played."

Warner, banned from two Tests of last summer's series in England after an off-field tussle with Joe Root, added to his opening-day 49 by scoring 124 in the second innings to record his first Ashes century.
