“Harry Brook is the poster boy for Bazball. He takes on the bowler in some style and has his flair. When he gets out, you think, what was that shot? But when he is on the charge, you call him a serious talent. We are going to jump on both sides of the fence,” Dinesh Karthik said at the end of the day’s play.
“Consistency will be there as long as he trusts his game. He is setting up games in Test cricket. It is not easy to bowl to him as he is unpredictable,” Karthik added.
Brook scored 481 runs at an average of 53.44, with two hundreds and two fifties in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
