James Anderson believes Harry Brook can become England’s best ever batter, surpassing even new record run-scorer Joe Root.
Brook became the first England man to make a Test triple century for 34 years in the astonishing defeat of Pakistan in Multan.
Brook has 1,875 runs in 19 Tests and 31 innings. He has a chance to become the fastest Englishman to 2,000 Test runs, beating the 22 matches and 33 innings of the legendary Herbert Sutcliffe in 1928. However, like Pietersen, Root was behind Brook after 19 Tests, with 1,447 runs at the same stage of his career.
The run-scoring exploits of Brook and Root helped England set new landmarks in taking a 1-0 lead over Pakistan.
