Learn From Root On How To Rotate Strike, Says Brook Ahead Of Lord's Decider Against India
While Brendon McCullum: England's white-ball captain Harry Brook has urged his batters to learn from the rock-solid Joe Root, especially on how to rotate strike, ahead of their ODI series decider against India, to be played at Lord's on Sunday.
Root hit a match-winning 99 not out in Cardiff on Thursday to help England level the three-game series. The victory was a massive relief for England, who have been dismal in their ODI results of late, and raised concerns about their hyper-aggressive batting style ahead of next year's 50-over World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
"I personally think you're always learning. He (Root) has played nearly 200 ODIs; he's still trying to learn, he's still trying to get better as a player, and he's England's greatest-ever batter," Brook said to reporters in the pre-match press conference.
