3rd Test: Shastri Questions Risk-reward Ratio On Brook’s Dismissal
Former India: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri felt Harry Brook's dismissal to Akash Deep while trying to sweep him on day four’s play in the third Test at Lord’s was a nothing shot, adding that the risk element associated with it was huge.
On the third ball of the 22nd over, after scooped Akash for two fours and lofting him for a six, Brook went for an aggressive pre-mediated sweep, but his middle stump was knocked back and uprooted, as his counter-attacking knock came to an end on 23 off 19 balls.
"Brook can be destructive - the impact he wanted to make with those two reverse sweeps, he did that. But I think he is too good a player to put his wicket at risk at that stage of the game. It was a nothing shot. He was only going to get one run even if he connected. The risk element was huge," said Shastri on Sky Sports’ broadcast during lunch break.
