Sydney, January 1, 2018 : .Shane Watson, former Australia all-rounder, felt “desperately sorry” for Joe Root as England’s captain.
He also said that it was wrong to criticize Root because the tourists were not the greatest team.Root is the Test run-scorer for England in 2021, scoring 1708 runs.
However, Root has been criticised heavily after England lost the Ashes 12 days later. Root is truly my worst nightmare.It hasn’t been going according to plan.When the ball was moving, the Adelaide bowlers didn’t perform very well.The batsmen aren’t scoring enough runs.Although he’s getting it, I guess that is what comes with being the captain of an English tour team not performing well.
Watson wrote in his column to The Times that he wished Root would take some heat because the England team is not at their best.
Watson also called Root’s run-making feat in Test cricket 2021 as “extraordinary”, despite not scoring a Test hundred.Root’s inability to score runs creates more problems for his leadership team.Root is playing well, but not as much as he would like.
He has enjoyed an extraordinary year playing with the bat.
Watson spoke out about Root’s development as a batsman and urged others to do the same while in Australia.On his 2013-14 first trip to Australia, Joe Root struggled with bounce and was often caught in slips or gully.He took a while to figure out his preferred method but he is now a pro.His game is under his control and he has a good understanding of the best methods.
The young England batsmen will need to make a decision about their scoring and defensive options.It is important to leave well.Marnus Labuschagne, an Australian player, is a shining example of this.He isn’t playing if the ball crosses his body line unless it is an attack stroke.England is playing outside their body, and this feeds the wicketkeeper and slips.
Watson also commented on the lack of high-quality spinners in England’s team.You must be as fit as Dale Steyn or Morne Morkel to play in Australia.A high-quality spinner is also necessary.They will take many wickets and keep the pressure on fast bowlers.England was blessed with one, Graeme Swann, in 2010.He bowled amazingly well and helped to win the series.
But that’s not what happened this year.
He said that England struggles in Australia because they don’t know which balls to choose.It is not a coincidence that England’s teams struggle to win in Australia.It’s usually not about technique.It’s about game planning for what balls you need to play and when to give up.
