During the Ashes, the bowling of Harry Brook left every cricketer amused
The captain of the England cricket team, Ben Stokes, surprised everyone by declaring the innings towards the end of the day in the first Ashes test against Australia. Once again, he has been the topic of intense debate as he gave the ball to Harry Brook on day 2. Brook is not a regular bowler, but Stokes decided to go with him as he wanted to test Steve Smith with slowish medium-pace bowling. Brook bowled for only one over and gave up only one run, but his introduction into the attack got funny comments from the commentators. Australian legend Ricky Ponting said, "What is going on here?" In response, former captain of the England cricket team Michael Atherton said that this is bazball.
Ben Stokes, who is the captain of the England cricket team, took the important wicket of Australia's star batsman Steve Smith after Stuart Broad stuck twice in two balls in the first test at Edgbaston on Saturday.
