290-1 off 32 overs.
Could 500 be on?
nearly
Astonishing stuff
In the 70s/80s 250 was a good score

Root is a marvellous accumulator of 50s and 60s but his strike rate is 86 which is ok but not great.
Batting as deep as we do, in most games a 50 off 50 balls is worth significantly more than 75 off 100.
And there is no way that Root can do to an attack what Roy, Bairstow, Hales and Morgan did today. Or indeed what Stokes, Buttler and Moeen can do on another day.
The game is moving on and to be the World Champions I think we need to consider how we can make 400 every time. Root would not feature for me.
This is not a criticism of him, it’s just horses for courses.

Could be the birth of a revolution in Test cricket.
I know, I know. It’ll never happen.

I’ve played 3 times this year. Haven’t bowled an over. I’ve averaged 48 over 3 innings. I’m waiting for my call up.
