    Time in the spotlight for the wrong reasons hasn't stopped cricketer Harry Brook speaking his mind

    Time in the spotlight for the wrong reasons hasn't stopped cricketer Harry Brook speaking his mind


    The England white-ball captain has labelled the Colombo pitch "probably the worst" he's ever played on - after a five-wicket win in the second one-day international against Sri Lanka.

    England bowled 40.3 overs of spin - the most they've sent down in an ODI.

    Brook was recently fined almost 70 thousand dollars and put on a final warning by the ECB after being "clocked" by a bouncer at a Wellington nightclub in November.
