On the show this week we have Somerset County Cricketer, Jack Brooks.
After coming into the professional game relatively late, Jack has had an incredible career. Starting out at Northants he was fortunate to be mentored by the late, great David Capel and he grew from someone who wasn’t sure if he could make it, into one of the country’s best fast bowlers who was on the fringes of the England team.
This led to a move to the big boys of Yorkshire where he not only starred in their back to back County Championship winning seasons in 2014 and 2015, but became a firm fans favourite in his time in Leeds.
He’s currently plying his trade for Somerset and like any great story that has a beginning, middle and end, he’s thoroughly enjoying this time as the senior member of the squad, the leader and the mentor for others. We discuss Jack’s career, his highs and lows, his future plans and his current recovery from triple surgery over the winter.
