Missing out: Travis Head
Vaughan: Travis Head has probably been Australia’s best player in the past couple of years. The Bazball way is the Travis Head way. He scores so quickly.
In Harry Brook England have a very special player. Because I am right on the fence I am going to pick the England player.
You could make a case that whoever has the better series could save the series for their team.
McGrath: It’s an incredibly tough one. I went for Harry Brook because he is such a special player but the more I think about it I am nearly drifting back to Travis Head, only because of the bigger boundaries in Australia.
Brook takes bowlers on but the extra distance in the field, he will have to navigate and adapt to that.
Tufnell: They are two powerhouses in that middle order.
The one perceived weakness with Harry Brook is the short ball just outside off stump and whether he wants to try taking on the hooks and pulls with the size of the grounds.
I went for Harry Brook – a once in a generation type player.
