I think both are going to be much tougher than you think but I do hope you’re right.50+ avg is very likely, Australia is 50/50

English players retire early if their form starts going down, so if that happens I don't think Root would stay long enough for his average to significantly drop.I think both are going to be much tougher than you think but I do hope you’re right.
I still think both are very unlikely but I don’t mind being proven wrong on this.English players retire early if their form starts going down, so if that happens I don't think Root would stay long enough for his average to significantly drop.
though, Australia is tricky because the last series the high bounce constantly got him, he is virtually perfect against the seaming and swinging ball and sensational against spin as well but he has to tweak his game against true bounce a little, one monster series in Australia is all he really needs to be a tier 1 ATG Batsmen instead of a tier 2.
wellllllllllllllll he did prove you wrong about his averaging falling to Ross Taylor levelI still think both are very unlikely but I don’t mind being proven wrong on this.
Tbf I was obviously joking when saying he would end up Taylor/Hussey levelwellllllllllllllll he did prove you wrong about his averaging falling to Ross Taylor level
Main reason he could struggle in Aus is if they bowl dry since he doesn’t leave/defend much anymore under Bazball. It’s why he struggled in India earlier this year until he made a conscious decision to bat really slowly and not play any premeditated shots.Think a hundred in Australia is more likely than averaging 50 still.
yeah that's almost a impossible, but reckon one big series and a 40+ average is fine, Lara averager 41 In Australia but no one holds it against him.Think a hundred in Australia is more likely than averaging 50 still.
I thought he meant averaging 50+ overall, not in Ausyeah that's almost a impossible, but reckon one big series and a 40+ average is fine, Lara averager 41 In Australia but no one holds it against him.
