He Is So Hard To Bowl: Root Lauds Brook's Batting Prowess
Joe Root: Joe Root has hailed his England and Yorkshire teammate Harry Brook for his batting prowess and said the right-hander is really difficult to bowl to, as he can whack the bowler over the head for a six and scoop over his head for a maximum and more.
Brook showcased his brilliance with a counterattacking 123 off 115 balls against New Zealand in Wellington, helping England recover from 43/4 on the first morning to secure a series-clinching 323-run victory. He described the innings as the best of his young 23-Test career, which already includes eight centuries and an impressive batting average of 61.62.
"If you asked me, Brooky is by far and away the best player in the world at the minute. He has such an all-round game: he can absorb pressure, he can apply it, he can whack you over your head for six, he can scoop you over his head for six, he can smack spin, he can smack seam. He's so hard to bowl to," Root said.
