'Struggles' is being generous, 'completely alien to the concept of' would be more appropriate.

Brook continues to struggle with game context and awareness.
As if that matters, he's only the Captain :'(

I’d take the captaincy off him and make Curran captain of both white ball sides. Playing all three formats isn’t helping his game and he seems to struggle to adapt to the three formats. Add in the additional burden of the captaincy and the net result seems to be jumbled up thinking across all areas of his game.

He doesn't know whether to stick or twist. Butler dodgy as well.

Very good effort from Italy, but England have been alarmingly slack in this competition.
