Just scored a hundred for Lahore taking them from 3-12 to 6-197 He looked unsure against spin in the big bash but looked absolutely brilliant today, played proper cricket shots as well, must be amazing experience in-front of all those fans.
Wonderful innings of proper shots. He finds boundaries without swinging too much and he ran a fair few twos. Wonderful ton partnership. I have really enjoyed what I have seen of the PSL. Great to see so many foreigners over there showing how Pakistan is perfectly safe to visit. The commentary team of David Gower, Mike Haysman and Danny Morrison could do every match of any Cricket event for me.
I fear at 23 that he may be rushed into the England team, he's obviously extremely talented, but, unfortunately, the spotlight of international test cricket can go one of two ways, push his confidence to new heights or send it plunging to an irretrievable low. The major problem with England is that we need high scoring, top order batsmen NOW, Patience must be the watchword with young talent and perhaps long term benefits will come to him and England.
Cook and Root were both younger than Brook when they made their Test debuts. I agree that there are more players who have failed at that age or younger but it would have been wrong to hold back selecting our best two batsmen this century. I don’t disagree with your sentiments but I don’t think 23 is too young.
