England batter Harry Brook drew flak for his controversial remark about England’s performance in the Ashes. While talking about England’s possible victory in the fourth Ashes Test, Brook said that the team is looking at the bigger picture even though Australia have retained the Urn. 

Brook claimed that the team is happy about the fact that they are able to draw a bigger crowd and entertain them through their aggressive brand of cricket. The young English batter went on to say that the hosts are not focused on winning but on entertaining the crowd.

It’s definitely been exciting to play in.”
