But not a 2.5 test bad run?Anyone can have an awesome 7 test run.
This is true, but if you average 75 then chances are you aren't an ordinary player.Anyone can have an awesome 7 test run.
Of course. I just don’t buy into the hype that was around him.But not a 2.5 test bad run?
He’s definitely a really talented ball striker, I wouldn’t ever bat him above five or six tbh unless he modified his technique a bit, but this match he’s had to.I mean he was averaging 33 for the series before today. Not what we want, but hardly in disaster zone for a single series in terms of what it says about a batsman.
He has work to do but there’s talent there. And he didn’t just score in Pakistan but also NZ.
He looks infinitely more talented than Ballance, who actively annoyed me any time he made runs because it really felt like competent bowling would have accounted for him easily.It's all remarkably similar to Garry Ballance isn't it ?
Yorkshire batting prospect makes flying start for England ..
Gary Ballance got to his first 1000 test runs in just 17 innings at an average of 67.93 , 4 Test hundreds
Harry Brook is on 953 runs from 16 innings @ 63.53 , 4 Test Hundreds
Be interesting to see if Brook can consolidate from here or will his performances decline like Ballance.
Ballance was just weird in that he became a walking wicket once his weakness was identified and then refused to change his techniqueHe looks infinitely more talented than Ballance, who actively annoyed me any time he made runs because it really felt like competent bowling would have accounted for him easily.
