Harry Brook: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Cricketer

Harry Brook’s century on Tuesday evening was as ludicrously destructive as we’ve come to expect from him, yet another knock only he could play. His ability to single-handedly change the course of a game is unparalleled. As human beings, we’re conditioned to always want more – a sense that sport exacerbates. When we come across brilliance and genius, much as we enjoy it, we also feel as though we own it. When it lets us down, we frequently find ourselves castigating the exact stuff that facilitates it.

In some ways this makes perfect sense – with great power comes great responsibility. But in other ways, it makes none whatsoever. Our attention is focused on an individual pulling their weight while, around them, others, often those sat in the big chairs, do not. Take Harry Brook, for example, a once-in-a-lifetime cricketer whose wonders in an England shirt compare favourably, not only with his contemporaries, but with anyone ever to have worn it – or any other.

Brook’s Leadership and Decision-Making

Of course he brings some of this on himself – he portrays something of a dufus and doesn’t always make good decisions, especially problematic in a leader. Except in sport, there’s no better leadership than that done from the front, and no one could argue such example is not being set. Brook’s century was a masterclass in aggressive batting, and he’ll know as well as anyone that expectations have increased because he inhabits a realm few ever reach.
