Joe Root thinks Harry Brook will score more 'monster' hundreds
While talking about how Brook went on with his business with the bat on day 3 and day 4 against Pakistan, Root spoke about whether Brook can replicate these big scores on a long-term basis and about Englishmen breaking records,
"He's got such a complete game. He can score all around the wicket, he plays seam well, spin well and high pace well, and that's a pretty good recipe for scoring runs," he said.
"I'm not surprised at all in him going on and doing something special like that, but I don't think it'll be the last time we see him with a monster score by his name If guys in the future are breaking records then England are in a good place and they're scoring a lot of runs, so hopefully that is the case," added Root.
Speaking about how Brook handles certain situations now as opposed to how he did not long back, the 33-year-old pointed out Brook's ability to learn from his mistakes and work on them.
"One of the best things with Harry is he's such a quick learner. With how freely he scores and plays naturally, especially in the corridor outside off stump, is exactly what you want from someone in the middle order. To be able to apply pressure to bowlers' best balls."
"He wasn't really taking many risks and then he just puts the foot down and can hit 360 degrees and make it very difficult for both seamers and spinners to tie him down. not so long ago, that he might have "made 150 and had a slog", instead of pushing on towards one of the highest scores in England's history," he added.
Root also pointed out the work the youngster has put on both, his mental and physical fitness to play these sorts of big knocks in Test cricket.
"He's gone away and worked extremely hard on his fitness after missing the India and the subsequent IPL, especially, on stamina training alongside the mental side," he concluded.
