Joe Root.. the new Ian bell?

Only scores "easy" runs or when series are dead?

I can't remember the last time he won a game for England? First captaincy game! 200 Vs South Africa?

Not quite but when we really need him he doesn’t make a match winning score

I can’t be alone thinking he is the best batsman-potentially-since Gooch or KP.

We really do need him just as a batter but don’t want to sound like a broken record
His average is going south quite quickly

Is this team weak mentally? When you look at 80 odd for one and now it's another collapse

Root is clearly hindered by the captaincy. Stats prove this non captain ave 52 vs captain ave 42. If he ditched the captaincy he may well return to his old self.

Yes...he wouldn’t be the first player like that and won’t be the last .

He should be 4th out of the big 4 best in the world.
We don’t have many in England capable of true world class

Woakes and Butler are hitting boundaries regularly. England's odds are looking better by the over. Pak are conceding too many runs.

You may be right!! It’s all on these two thou they must stay in. One wicket and England are vulnerable against this bowling

Shame Buttler couldn’t see it home but this was undoubtedly the best innings of his Test career.
