Shubman Gill vs Harry Brook

[PlayerComparisons]

Two future legends

Harry Brook >>>> your favourite batsman

Stats wise Brook is clearly the better test player but Gill has a better white ball record.

Will that change over time - probably in so far as you'd expect Gill's test record to improve as you would Brooks white ball record.

How can you seriiously judge this when their careers are so novel?

This a poll of who is the bigger trust fund kid or what?

They're the sky rockets of world cricket - start off bright and spectacular then fizzle before a burnt out stick drops back to earth.

We've all seen these stories before.

Like Brett lee

I hate calling players just starting their careers, a future legend.

I’ve learned my lesson.

Rajendra Chandrika was gonna be the next Bradman. Adrian Barath the next Tendulkar…etc…

Roston Chase, Sobers.

Like Brett lee

Much as I don't rate Brett Lee, he had a near-decade long career. I'd be surprised if either of these two blokes end up with anything like that.

They both have a chance. Pains me to say it but Gill has a better chance

Ian Craig is a classic example.

 

[Burgey]

They both stay too leg side of the ball to be a success across all conditions in long form cricket. Off side slappers don't have good test careers when it moves and bounces.

FMD how can you compare those two spuds with The Bin Lid?

England don’t produce many good players so I reckon Brook could play 10 years. Zak Crawley might end up playing for 10 years actually

This isn’t remotely the case for Harry Brook?

Roston Chase, Sobers.

There's still time!

His middle name is Cherrington ffs

Nah seriously though, I always got the impression that he wasn't quite Crawley but wasn't far off. Sure I can recall reading something to that effect at one point
