And the previous home summer against India, he got 6 centuries in the calendar year which Root has already.
Mad how bad his injuries were in his career that he only played in two ashes series, usually injuries wreck a bowlers career not a batsman.

Vaughan circa 2002/03 was beautiful. Cover drives + pull shots. Shame his purple patch was so brief, and that he never figured out white-ball cricket

the time he looked to have when batting on that tour was outrageous, it made some atg/atvg bowlers look village at times. pulling perfectly good length balls into the stands for six like it was no biggie.

on root though, reminds me of lara in the 00s. an absolute gun who oppo bowlers can't figure out. then his fellow batsmen who are a bunch of utter chumps not worthy to share the pitch with him.

Bit harsh on Chanderpaul.

Yeah it was one of the first series I followed really closely and I was just blown away by how good he was. Thought he was going to be some, like, superlative standout batsman for England for the next ten years because he was still pretty young IIRC.

The almighty cumulative power of Joe Root’s nothing shot
"Oh that's a nothing shot," they say - but only when you get out to it. We were thinking about this particular shot of Joe Root's after watching the BBC highlights the other day. The BBC highlights are an hour long and with no ads, it's what you might call a 'good hour' rather than

Only smith is worthy of being compared to lara and tendulkar. He may eclipse them if he maintains his form. Kohli can't even compare to dravid.

Whatever it takes!!!
Their careers are not done. And as much as I love Dravid, he had holes in his resume too. And either way, I rate them all as ATGs. Its not like Dravid is the gatekeeper for ATG levels in my eyes.

Will be interesting to see how he goes against the Aussies.

Good on him. Now I just hope this is good enough to allow him back into the Fab 4 to replace Babar Azam.

With the way he's looking at the crease, with perfect balance and nimble footwork I reckon he'll score a mountain of runs on those pitches. But other great players in good form have failed before so who knows.
