There you go. I wondered where the noise over him playing better under the new regime came from. I've seen a fair amount of it and it's always seemed like he's unusually hurried and finding ever more stupid ways of getting out.Although root's overall average under bazball is around 50, his average in the last 14 tests is 39.53 and that includes a 153 not out and 118 not out.
And excluding tests vs new zealand, his bazball average overall is 36 in 16 tests.
Huh? He's averaging 51 under bazball, and in his 2 year "peak" before bazball he averaged 52. The average of top 7 players on both sides has increased from 32/33 during root's peak to 38 during bazball. So like, root's not really changed, at all in terms of output? Given the fact that other guys are averaging more, maybe you'de be validated in saying "ohh, he should be averaging 55", but like, he's not dropped off or anything.There you go.

Yes. In doubt for the next test tooIs Jaiswal out for the remainder of this test?
Bazball is beginning to sound like a cultFrom the Guardian
“Asked about a realistic target in the fourth innings, Duckett replied: “The more the better. This team is all about doing special things and creating history. They can have as many as they want and we’ll go and get them.”
I'll have what he's having.From the Guardian

i mean the part where he talks about the night watchman lolI know some folks are piling into Duckett for this contribution, but I'm not sure exactly what they expected him to say. And the fact that he's publicly defending Root doesn't mean that Joe isn't giving himself a hearty kicking.
The more the better That explains the batting on day 3From the Guardian

Not sure it works to bust down the other guy's argument while suggesting Root's ODI struggles are to blame for his Test form.Huh? He's averaging 51 under bazball, and in his 2 year "peak" before bazball he averaged 52. The average of top 7 players on both sides has increased from 32/33 during root's peak to 38 during bazball. So like, root's not really changed, at all in terms of output? Given the fact that other guys are averaging more, maybe you'de be validated in saying "ohh, he should be averaging 55", but like, he's not dropped off or anything.
Also, the last 14 test average has come at the same time he's gone off a cliff in ODI cricket, which baz has nothing to do with. I don't see how you can sit here and blame the new regime for ruining root's output, or whatever?
I'm all for breaking down stats but can't for a second work out why you'd exclude NZ. Or not outs.Although root's overall average under bazball is around 50, his average in the last 14 tests is 39.53 and that includes a 153 not out and 118 not out.
And excluding tests vs new zealand, his bazball average overall is 36 in 16 tests.
Damn! I guess we still have Patidar so we should be ok…Yes. In doubt for the next test too
Like Peter Siddle... if he ate meatwood still bowling 145kmph wafg
lot of heart
Yeah if/when he comes in tomorrow the lad is gonna have a license to buffet#Protect big daddy Sarf
Cheap shot mate. Don't forget Gatting's reverse sweep in World Cup '87English test cricket has existed since 1877 and the stupidest shots have all happened within the short reign of two New Zealanders at the helm.
FFS. That American expression about drinking the Kool aid comes to mindI really, really don't want to hear 'we can chase anything' at the end of today's play.
I actually can't think of a dumber cricket quote in history. This is up there with the politicians.Duckett does not disappoint with the Bazball quotes.
