School Boy/Girl Captain
Never understood why people say a batsman is "unlucky" to get out but Brook's dismissal almost qualifies.
All of the batsmen got themselves out though and even with Australia's negative mindset still scored at 5 an over.
The declaration was justified imo. With the chance of getting No 3 in as opposed to 20-30 more runs max, it was wort a go.
