Joe Root: England Great Chases Elusive Century In Australia

By AFP News November 16, 2025 • 09:02 AM View: 271

Joe Root heads into the Ashes, beginning on Friday in Perth, ranked as the world's best batsman with a colossal 39 Test hundreds to his name... but still waiting for his first ton in Australia.

Only Sachin Tendulkar has scored more than Root's 13,543 Test runs and the retired Indian's tally of nearly 15,921 looks within reach of the 34-year-old Englishman.
