Former England captain Sir Geoffrey Boycott has been released from hospital after developing pneumonia following cancer surgery.
The 83-year-old, who was diagnosed with throat cancer for a second time in June, has credited the actions of his wife for saving his life.
His family said last month that Boycott’s recovery had taken “a turn for the worse” and he was “on oxygen and a feeding tube for the foreseeable”.
Boycott told The Telegraph on Friday: “I am still here because of the quick thinking of my wife Rachael.
“She recognised I had taken a turn for the worse in my recovery from surgery for throat cancer.
“I was recuperating at home from the operation and felt pretty good at first but overnight I became delirious, was not talking properly and looked awful.
“We had a pulse oximeter at home which she put on my finger and it recorded my blood oxygen level at 35%.
“That is when she knew there was a major problem and called an ambulance. I was rushed back in, put on oxygen and diagnosed with pneumonia.
“It has knocked hell out of me and if Rachael had not acted so quickly I am pretty sure I would not have made it through the night. She saved my life, no doubt about that.”
But Cook suggested Brook, 25, may come to regret his remarks in years to come and believes he would have worded his post-match messaging differently."I think if
