Expressing his strategy, Brook stated, “If he bowls a good ball, then I’m going to respect it. But other than that, I’m going to try and take him on. He could get a lot of wickets, but hopefully, we’re going to hit him for a lot of runs.”

Confident in his ability to find gaps and play all around the wicket, Brook is prepared to adapt to Lyon’s tactics and the field placements set by the Australian team.
