How far back is Root from Tendulkar ?

Roughly 4000 runs.

 

[GIMH]

How far back is Root from Tendulkar ?

About 4000 I think.

I am not sure it is necessarily beyond him but I guess batsmen can decline quickly when they hit mid-30s

 

[CartyDurham]

Thanks both

Brook goes to seales 109 , poor shot caught de silva

288 the lead

 

[GIMH]

Good delivery. Good innings from Brook. Suspect Stokes will not die wanting here.

 

[Groundking]

Lazy shot, he's left a double on the table there.

 

[CartyDurham]

Re root

4000 if he plays for another 6 years , he won’t be far off

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Shame to end there but very well played.

 

[slowfinger]

little bit of nibble and he's had a nibble see

 

[BazBall21]

How far back is Root from Tendulkar ?

He would have to play until he's about 40. England batsmen often don't age well. Obviously Root is their best in a very long time but part of it is likely because they always play big teams frequently. The recent English batting conditions could help though.

 

[Qlder]

Want this to finish with Brook 200* and Root 150*

Thank you, Brook out for 109, now for Root

 

[Chin Music]

Much better performance this innings, but still 100 or so needed to put this game to bed.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Brooks strike rate is insane

 

[BazBall21]

Thank you, Brook out for 109, now for Root

Always a possibility of Root missing out!

 

[CartyDurham]

Still need at least another hundred imo England

 

[BazBall21]

Have a look first Ben.

 

[BazBall21]

That is a nothing shot from Brook. Timid end to a good knock.

 

[BazBall21]

Still need at least another hundred imo England

Hope Root doesn't step outside his natural game. We still need more runs and have loads of time.

Exactly . Feet went nowhere and i can only think he was trying to get one of those thin edges down through the slips, which annoyed Seales yesterday

 

[slowfinger]

Talking about adding another 150+ could easily get skittled for <100 here especially if Stokes decides he doesn't want to defend a big total
