The Ashes: England’s Harry Brook has ‘too many clubs in the bag’, says Michael Vaughan

England batter Harry Brook has “too many clubs in the bag”, according to former captain Michael Vaughan.

Brook was aggressive from the outset after coming to the crease with England 122-3 in the second Test in Brisbane.

He was then dismissed driving the second ball of Mitchell Starc’s first over in the twilight period.

England’s World Cup winner Alex Hartley said she thought Brook, who made 31, was “stupid”.

Speaking on BBC Sport Daily Ashes Debrief, Vaughan, who captained England to victory in 2005, said: “I think you are right. He has so much talent, even the ramp shot.

“He has almost got too many clubs in the bag. He has about 25. He is a different style of player but Joe [Root] played three or four shots. Harry has got 360.

“If his defence was poor I would encourage him to be a bit more aggressive. He has all of the time in the world. He sees the ball too big.

“If he is facing a [Michael] Neser or [Brendan] Doggett and the ball is not doing a great deal.”
