Geoffrey Boycott has been hugely impressed by the start Harry Brook has made to his Test career, labelling him the "best natural strokeplayer England have had since Kevin Pietersen".
However, Boycott believes Brook could struggle against Australia in this summer's Ashes if they target him with the short ball. The ex-England opener expects the extra pace of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc and the awkward bounce of Josh Hazlewood to be a real problem for Brook, given he likes to take on the short ball.
In his latest column for the Telegraph, Boycott said: "I feel this summer the Australians will challenge him with the short ball. He instinctively hooks up and with the extra pace and quality in their seamers hooking up can be a 'getting out' shot.
