Joe Root is a fantastic player. And he'll get better.

Just like Watson, Hughes, Cowan and Warner in the previous series? Any person who has opened before but 'hides' in the middle order is a coward... Really?
Mickey Arthur picked the wrong squad and Lehmann had to adapt to what he was left with.

In the 2013/14 Ashes, Hughes and Cowan where gone.

Watson was moved down the order as his bowling was causing him injuries. And Watson is a career middle order player for Queensland, NSW and Tasmania

Was due to go tomorrow, damn Indians and their fragile batting! Amazed in this day and age you have to send the tickets away for a refund by cheque that takes up to 30 days

Maybe against rubbish teams like India. He's a bunny against Australia or South Africa.

Gerry brown-nosing about SA and Aus again?
This is really starting to bore most of us, and certainly when forum members troll and become more annoying than entertaining, then we start to consider their future on the forum!

There's only one way to settle this - says Harry Hill.....  ;)

Joe Root has suprised me big time and think of how good he could become I don't think he is finished improving.

Hands up thatan is going to be a fine player he is fine now but will no doubt get better

Everything went well in the end

Good days

I think you can gauge sides by their fielding - when catches are sticking things start ticking.

What an absolute farce this series turned out to be , turned out to be almost like one sided minnow bashing in the end , Ideally SL series should have had at least 3 matches which produced thrilling two test matches .

SL series was crying for one extra match while this was too long and boring.

And when you score more runs than the other side, you win.  ;)
