Brook Could Go On To Get Very Close To Root And His Records, Says Cook
Harry Brook: Former England captain Alastair Cook has backed Harry Brook to get very close to Joe Root’s batting record and become England's greatest-ever Test batter after his unbeaten 132 rescued England on Day Two of the first Test against New Zealand at Christchurch.
Brook was dropped four times while smashing an unbeaten 132 – his seventh Test hundred. He also shared a fifth-wicket partnership of 151 with Ollie Pope, who hit 77, as England ended the second day on 29 runs behind New Zealand’s first-innings total of 348.
"Apart from his ridiculous amount of talent, I love his set-up. His head and his hands are in a fantastic position right under his eyes. Your eyes are absolutely vital for batting and if your hands are under there, it gives a really good indication of where you can play from," said Cook to TNT Sports on Friday.
