I had forgotten about him . I don’t know , but I bet he was treated like S**T by all the MEN over there !
I keep saying, you cannot expect Root to dig the batting line up out of a hole. Every single test in recent memory follows the same pattern…which is 30/40 for 3 normally in the first session.
You can see this panning out. The bowlers will give the batters a getable target and they'll be 50/4 after an hour 'chasing' it.
