Despite England’s series loss to Australia on Sunday, September 29, Harry Brook has stated that the country played a good game of cricket in it. The fifth ODI defeat against Australia saw a significant collapse for England.
Despite losing the series to Australia, Harry Brook, England’s acting captain, believes his team performed admirably in the newstyle of cricket. In the match that was impacted by weather in Bristol, the Australians managed to win the series. England achieved 202 runs in 25 overs at the expense of three wickets by batting aggressively upfront.
Nevertheless, England would eventually be bowled out for 309 runs in 49.2 overs despite their best efforts to stick with the strategy. Australia then pursued the game aggressively in their own style, winning by 49 runs using the DLS system. Despite the defeat, Brook stated that England did a great job of executing the new strategy and that it will pay off in the long run.
“Our focus is not just on the here and now, but also on the future,” stated Brook, the winner of the ODI player of the summer award.
Our aim is to get ready for the bigger shows and events. We’re aiming to play a different kind of cricket, and I believe we’ve done it flawlessly.”
We didn’t achieve the desired number of wickets after the power play, but other than that, we performed admirably.”
I could consider the following: Brook on captaincy
After scoring a hundred and two fifties in the last three ODI, Brook was pleased with his personal form. It was good to finally understand the ODI cricket tempo, according to the acting captain. In addition, Brook mentioned how enjoyable his time as captain was and how he will give it some thought going forward.
But Brook stated that he will now step back and allow Jos Buttler to take charge.
Getting on the scoreboard, scoring a few runs, and helping to win games is fantastic. Although I haven’t played much, it’s good to finally understand how the ODI cricket match is played.
It has been a good captaincy. Brook remarked, “I might give it some thought in the future, but for now I’ll just sit back and let Jos handle it.”
With that, England and Brook will concentrate on the impending Test series against Pakistan.
