But Cook suggested Brook, 25, may come to regret his remarks in years to come and believes he would have worded his post-match messaging differently.<\/p>\n
“I think if he has his time again, in a few years’ time as captain, Harry Brook might cringe a little bit at saying what he actually said,” the former England captain told BBC Test Match Special.<\/p>\n
“He gave a bad answer to a question about not minding being caught on the boundary.<\/p>\n
“I understand what he is trying to say. He’s trying to give that message about taking the right option.<\/p>\n
“Ultimately they have to be better at recognising the pitch they are on. They messed up from 200-2 and were not good enough with the bat.”<\/p>\n
After England subsided with the bat, Travis Head proceeded to thump a blistering 154 not out as Australia cruised to a 13th straight win in ODIs.<\/p>\n
Head, for his part, is probably in Brook’s camp – recognising the need for fortune.<\/p>\n
“I got a bit lucky at the start,” said Head, who was player of the match in last year’s World Cup final. “The start was tough. Jof [Archer] had it moving around corners.<\/p>\n
“If you can get through there are a lot of runs on offer, especially here. It is nice I could contribute.<\/p>\n
“We did an exceptional job to get it to 315 [with the ball]. It felt like it would be a few more.”<\/p>\n
The series moves to Leeds next, with the second match at Headingley on Saturday at 11:00 BST.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
