Brook Acknowledges the Challenge
After the match, Harry Brook said, “We bowled well to limit Australia to 270 runs, which is a good result at Headingley. However, we lost wickets early in the powerplay, which made it hard to chase the target. Our set batsmen did not take responsibility, and we kept losing wickets regularly.” He added that despite the challenges, his team had followed the plan but couldn’t execute it as hoped.
