Joe Root has 1398 runs so far in 2021. The most scored in a year was the 1788 scored by Mohammad Youssef in 2006. Root has 6 tests in the rest of the year to score 391 runs
Joe Root needs another 97 runs when his innings resumes tonight to break the calendar year record. It's a big task - made harder by the fact that he will need someone to stay with him at the other end (not much hope on that front!)
No quick fixes for this - emphasis has been on white ball cricket to the detriment of red ball I would change the coach. We need one format of either the Hundred or 20-20 so that county championship games are played at the right time of year
