I I wouldn't call it a collapse.
Well, I I I feel as is and I said this yesterday with Agas, I think when he first came into the side, I'm not sure he was totally sure how he wanted to play in Red Bull cricket and McCullum and Stokes gave him that freedom to go and play really attacking because I think when I saw him playing for Yorkshire beginning of his career, he had opened and also slid down the middle order a bit where he was uncertain ha the tempo he went.
So he went all in.
And it produced some fantastic results.
You know, lots of runs, certainly against Pakistan.
His record against Pakistan is unbelievable, it's almost Bradman-esque.
Uh and it's given clarity to do that.
And now I think as you do learn and you evolve, he he's doing that in front of our eyes.
The one thing that happens when you are number one batter in the world and you averaging close to sixty like it was fifty-five.
that just comes with expectation and pressure.
That's another little
element which no one really thinks about when you start playing cricket but happens.
So we are because we he's now been doing numbers which have almost been unheard of for an English batsman in these conditions, suddenly the problem with that is, if it is a problem, is start you start to get expectation.
the media expecting him to do it all the time and he has he has to learn with that.
So I think today we saw a little evolution of his batting where
He he didn't have to do anything fancy.
Yes, this bowling attack is not world class, but he played in a real nice tempo and he and he and make we might see we might see a little illusion.
Will we see some bad shots from Harry Brooke at some stage in the next two years?
We will.
We we will because that's how he plays.
