- One-Day Cup: 1 wicket, average 42.00, BB 1-42, did not bat
BBC Radio Leeds’ Dave Callaghan: “Yorkshire pace man Jack Brooks has done it again. Despite losing some cricket to injury he has gone past 50 championship wickets for the season to continue an impressive career with the back to back title winners.
“It is fair to say the ‘headband warrior’, as he is known, can go for a few runs now and then, but he is a prolific wicket-taker and thus adds great value to Yorkshire’s fine pace attack.
“His batting has improved as well. At times he has come to the rescue with runs from his position at number 10.
“A fine cricketer, who gives his all on every occasion – and deserves to make this team for the third successive year.”
