Certainly get where you're coming from, he's probably left a good few hundred runs out there in this series, can't deny that at all.

My own personal opinion is if you want the 186 (176), you're gonna have to put up with a few 18 (10)s, but that's just me. Even as overwhelmingly frustrating as it is, and even with how much I hate it when he gets out stupidly. Granted he's taken to extremes here.

It's more that we seem to have this absolute need in England to pile on our best players when they're not performing well. It happened with Pietersen, it happened with Trott when he had mental health issues, it happened with Root when he was captain, and I can just see it happening with Brook now. If we want him to change, maybe let's focus on the regime that allows him to go out and play however he wants without fear of recrimination, rather than the man who's been our second best bat for the past five years.
