Shubman Gill vs Harry Brook

[GIMH]

His middle name is Cherrington ffs

He went to a comp until he got a sports scholarship.

Ehh edited my earlier post about the same time. Maybe I am mistaken though here.

He certainly has the air of smugness I usually assosciate with being born into megabucks, although that may just be part and parcel of being an English cricketer

yeah fair enough, I feel about the same about Aussie cricketers having the air of a *** offender with their dodgy taches

Honestly I can't even argue that. Certainly some seriously questionable personal appearance choices going around Australian cricket, both internationally and domestically

A proud Australian cricket tradition

Understandable you'd feel that way given how often they **** your team.

Brook already has a World Cup winners medal - Gill does not.

 

[Aidan11]

Brook cos he has a longer surname.

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

Haha, what! You couldn't be more wrong here!

Harry Brook comes from a very "working class" family to say the least and his dad David is a disgrace. His drunken, loutish, anti social behaviour has been known to cause havoc in Burley-in-Wharfedale, an an otherwise pleasant town near where my mum lives. I don't know him personally, but he is a well known trouble maker in the area and my mum has seen him getting up to no good on more than one occasion.

One example of his many escapades:

Cricket star's father gets curfew lifted to watch son play for England

David Brook's (pictured) 7pm-7pm curfew was lifted at Bradford Magistrates' Court so that he could go and watch his son play cricket for England Under-19s against India.

Harry did attend Sedbergh School, but this was on a cricket scholarship rather than because his parents were loaded.

I would like to nominate GoodAreasShane for the misinformation of the week award.

So still a wanker, but in a different way to what I first thought. Got it

Brook's better but he has to grow out of the Bazball mentality. I think he'll be a better player than he already is once Stokes and Mccullum are gone.

Gill has a bad technique but enough attacking skill to peel off an unlikely century once in a while. Like Laxman, he might be better used in the middle order.

Yea bazball should only be for guys like Crawley, Duckett and Bairstow. Brook, Stokes and Root should bat properly

Yeah hopefully post Stokes he will average 70 instead of 60
