Who was it earlier in the summer saying they thought Root under bowled himself in tests?

I hope they don't get bowled out too cheaply, certainly not before the 50 overs. I'd like to see as much cricket as possible with it being the last for a while, does that sound daft?

Was thinking just that. Are these aussie’s going to make me watch Everton vs Salford!?
We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks

Hoping Maxwell’s law of averages don’t go awry and he has one of his innings here. One more wicket soon should do it.

I think its bold captaincy to stick with Root, despite the wickets.

I’d take him off now, he’s been very useful but his economy rate seems to be creeping up.

Whenever I see Jason Roy in the field I’m unimpressed (notwithstanding the World Cup win).

Is he considered a good fielder by today’s standards?
