England's Brook Vows to Rein It in After 'Shocking' Ashes Shots

Harry Brook admits poor shot selection has contributed to England's Ashes 2-0 deficit and says he must curb aggression to improve performance, averaging 24.5 runs in two Tests.

  • On Tuesday in Adelaide, Harry Brook conceded he might need to curb his aggressive batting with England 2-0 down, saying, `Sometimes we've got to rein it in a little bit.`
  • Conceding errors from recent innings, Brook acknowledged his dismissals at Perth Stadium and the Gabba as shocking shots he would play slightly differently.
  • Putting recent scores alongside his record, Brook has contributed 98 runs at 24.5 across the first two Tests and averages 55.05 across 32 Tests with 10 centuries in the BazBall era.
  • Facing a potential 3-0 deficit, Brook said England players must stand up in crunch moments and plans to rotate strike, read the game and pitch better, and stay in the moment ahead of Adelaide Oval.
  • After a short Noosa break, Brook said he took a cricket-free break to refresh ahead of the Adelaide Test as coach Brendon McCullum maintained on Sunday that England's aggressive batting style will not change.
