What did Harry Brook say after the defeat?

He also said that his team adopted positive options to build pressure but did not succeed. He further said that we are a young team, Adil Rashid is the highest run scorer in ODI cricket for us. We are playing against one of the best teams in the world. Regarding the third game to be played in Durham, Brook said that we can take a lot of positive things, we have done everything we said, just some things did not go in our favor.
Australian captain looked happy
After the victory against England, Australia captain Mitchell Marsh said that these days, even 270 runs always seem like a bit of a shot, but we knew with Starc and Hazlewood, if they took early wickets, we have a chance. You always want to score more runs. Small partnerships with tail-enders batsmen at the end are important. The experience of Starc and Hazlewood matters a lot when you are defending such a target. The ball was moving a bit, the wicket put pressure on them. Aaron Hardy also did a great job. He also said that he is very happy with this victory. He said that the big thing is to focus on what we are doing. Playing against England in England is a tough task. We are really happy with where we are.
