Criticising England batter Harry Brook for his approach against short ball on Day 1 of ongoing fifth Test against Australia, ex-England cricketer Michael Atherton said, "He lost...plot a bit, and he was so lucky." Notably, Brook played a pull shot on short ball of Australia pacer Mitchell Starc but survived as ball ended up going in no-man's land.
