Brook Is Probably The Best Test Batter In The World Right Now, Says Ponting
Indian Premier League: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes England’s Harry Brook is currently the best Test batter in the world and added he remains in awe of his approach to playing the longer format.
On Wednesday, right-handed Brook was unveiled as new top-ranked Test batter after going past his team-mate Joe Root in the rankings list, with his rating points being 898. Brook, 25, scored 171 in the first Test of England's ongoing tour of New Zealand in Christchurch, and followed it up by making 123 and 55 in the second Test in Wellington.
Brook averages a whopping 89.35 in Tests away from home, as compared to just 38.05 on home soil, including seven of his eight Test centuries coming outside of England. "He probably is (the best Test batter in the world) right now. He is doing some pretty amazing things and most of them he is doing away from home."
