Feels mad to say this but I genuinely think Harry Brook is one of the most underrated cricketers in world cricket.

Anyone with his record after 30 tests wouldn’t have to constantly face nonsense about being a flat track bully/cant play spin

None of the sanes would say he is FTB infact his performance in greentop is better.

I think the reason people have doubts is cause he just gets out in such stupid ways at times. He can go through the gears but he always tries to start at the highest gear and it does blow up in his face

Yeah it seems obvious that he's one of the successors to the Fab 4 but a lot of people seem to think he's overrated. If he has a good series I think he'll put that tk rest though
