    He’s dropped to number 3 as of mid July

    I wouldn't ever want Brook to change the way he plays. He was advancing to knock the bowler off his length. It was a very good ball..He has to believe in his ability to take it to the bowlers.. but it means he'll sometimes lose his wicket like that

    Maybe he just needs to temper it somewhat.

    I'm starting to think he's a luxury, fair weather player with no back bone. It seems his crap innings and hair brained shots coincide with key moments and all his hundreds come in nothing to lose instances.

    He averages nearly 60 with strike rate over 80 in Tests. That's pushing Bradman level.

    Give him a chance! I do think he's more suited to the limited overs game though!

    He’s only been “ not out” once in test cricket which makes his average look even better.
    He’s class and shouldn’t really alter the way he plays

    Imagine if he said what a joke he’s nowhere near as good as I was.

    I'll admit he's not has his best series but he's still averaging 45 across 7 innings. Hardly terrible.
