English Star Captain Joe Root Has Come Out in Support of Harry Brook After He Mimicked a WWE Wrestler During A Cricket Celebration.
England captain Joe Root has expressed his hope that the recent celebration by his team-mate Harry Brook, which involved mimicking 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's famous "beer smash" gesture from WWE, will be received with humor.
Brook was involved in a late-night drinking incident earlier this year and had to face disciplinary action. However, he bounced back strongly when he scored a match-winning century against Sri Lanka.
As part of his celebrations, Brook removed his batting gloves, punched them together and then tipped them towards his mouth - a move first made famous by Steve Austin in the WWE wrestling world.
Brook explained that it was a tribute to Austin and also an acknowledgement of his attempts to regain the trust of his team-mates. Meanwhile, Joe Root believes that this gesture is another example of why Brook will be a great captain in white-ball cricket.

he was always a bit of wild card, but i guess u can say that incident really showed the team his spirit 
. and joe root being supportive of him is actually pretty cool 
. it shows that even in the cricket world, u got ur mates having each other's backs. brook definitely had some guts to pull off that wrestling move 
, but i think he's been doing alright for himself since the incident. maybe now hes got a new persona as the "stone cold" of england cricket 
. anyway, looks like brook's still got it 
I think Harry Brook's celebration was so hilarious! 
. Plus, Joe Root is totally right - Brook's confidence on the field is what makes him a great player 
! I'm so hyped to see how he'll lead England in the upcoming tournaments 
. The way they're both supporting each other and having fun is just the best 
.
, I love how Brook's just being himself, even after getting into some trouble earlier on 
. It's all about owning up to mistakes and learning from them, right? And honestly, who doesn't love a good 'beer smash' 
. Brook's got this whole 'wrestler vibe' thing going on and I think that's what makes him so lovable to watch 
. As a captain, he'll definitely bring some fun to the table 
- remember when wrestling was all about athleticism and theatrics? Nowadays, it's like they're trying to make it edgier with all these celebrity cameos 
. But hey, I guess it's nice that Harry Brook is having a bit of fun after his incident. Still, I'm not sure what's more cringeworthy - the 'beer smash' gesture or the fact that Joe Root is defending it like it's the most normal thing 
. I mean, I remember when cricket celebrations were just about high-fiving and jumping for joy 
, not this WWE-style smackdown nonsense 
. Guess times change and we gotta adapt?
, but at the same time, you gotta admire his confidence and swagger 
. It's interesting how Brook's actions were perceived as a way to poke fun at himself and regain the trust of his teammates, rather than being seen as a reckless or unprofessional behavior. I mean, we've all had those moments where we're trying to have a good time, but perhaps got a bit carried away
