Jack was a fast bowler who could also bat, and played for Somerset CCC, after previous successful spells at Yorkshire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire.
A popular men on the county scene, on and off the field, he could be easily identified on the pitch wearing his ‘Dennis Lillee’ style headbands. He played over 100 first class matches taking over 450 wickets at an impressive average of 27.25 and included a first class century with the bat, he was a fine cricketer across all formats. Brooks always had the ability to swing the ball late, with good pace, paired with some great variation, that assisted his white ball bowling.
Jack was always valuable when he played. He led Somerset to the Bob Willis Trophy final in 2020 with contributions of bat and ball and achieved back to back County Championship wins with Yorkshire CCC.
