Disagree actually. Played 1 match in SA after 23, as well a 3 match India tour. Hardly worse in England than Root in Australia. Root nowhere near as productive at home. Overall, Root is better but a tier is wild and shows how easily opinions here gets swayed. For reference, not more than 6 months ago Williamson beat out Root in the Test batsmen Poll.

Root is the best in the world right now he's pushed ahead of Smith, and Kohli.
Williamson below all of them

Root is better now, but hardly much significantly. Did bad in India too. On one hand, he did scored a century; but on the other, got out trying to reverse scoop Bumrah which literally packed England

There’s lot of recency bias on here. People act like there’s a big difference between Root and Kohli even tho they basically average the same (and Kohli has actually proved himself everywhere).

Tbf, this discussion is on recent form. Root on that record is ahead of the others, but scoring in 3 matches vs WI at home and 3 vs SL away, isn't enough to overwrite his recent failure in India.

Yeah that's why I said I'd take England over NZ's batting line up

I get that, but they did pretty poorly in India. So not sold on winning 5 games vs WI and SL. Crawley, Pope, Duckett aren't better than Conway, Philips and Latham. Brooks is better than Ravindra, and Smith and Blundell tough to compare right now; but Mitchell over Stokes. Overall, I will say they are around equal.

I'm betting NZ do poorer than ENG did in IND in the upcoming series

I always say he’s the batting equivalent of Ashwin

Beast at home
Bad away record with sporadic success here and there (ignoring prank countries)
Doesn’t play overseas enough through no fault of his own
