Another abismal performance. Are we the worst top tier cricket team in the World? Can't think of anyone who couldn't beat us at the moment. Is Cook still available?
England captain Joe Root has been named men's Test cricketer of the year by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Despite a difficult year for his side, Root hit 1,708 runs in 2021 - the third most in a calendar year in Tests. He scored two double centuries and a further four hundreds, including three in successive Tests against India. Root was also nominated for the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC men's cricketer of the year, that award going to Pakistan bowler Shaheen Afridi. "I am incredibly proud to receive this award," said Root, 31, who become the second Englishman to win the Test cricketer award after Alastair Cook in 2011. Great performance and well deserved
Disastrous start by England 27 - 3 Root back in the hutch 57-4 @ lunch On Hesgoals. comhttp://www.hesgoal.com/news/97808/England_vs_West_Indies.html
Is the improved batting a result of wickets that are more suitable to the English batsmen or the attack isn't as good as Australia, or a bit of both?
