Brook Could Be One Of The Great Middle-order Players Of This Generation: Geoffrey Boycott
Geoffrey Boycott: Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott believes Harry Brook has it in him to be one of the ‘great middle-order players of this generation’. In the recent 2-2 drawn series against India, Brook finished with 481 runs at an average of 53.44.
His knock of 111 runs off 98 balls at The Oval almost took England home in a thrilling Test match which India won by six runs. “I have believed for a long time that Harry Brook could be one of the great middle-order players of this generation.”
"Players like him do not come along too often, and he could end up in the same bracket as Wally Hammond and Denis Compton, who are regarded by everybody who saw them as among England’s greatest. Harry has that special quality of somehow making batting look easy. Let me tell you, it is not. He is tall and that gives him long levers, so when he hits the ball he has a lot of power and takes the game away from bowlers without slogging.
