'What A Load Of Nonsense': Vaughan Slams Lehmann's Criticism Of Joe Root, Predicts Ashes Century
Joe Root: Former England captain Michael Vaughan has dismissed Darren Lehmann’s recent criticism of Joe Root, following the ex-Australia coach’s claim that Root isn’t an all-time great due to his failure to score a century in Australia across three Ashes series.
Speaking on ABC during the first Test between Australia and India, Lehmann questioned whether Root was an all-time great given he’s yet to score a century down under across three Ashes series. He also ranked Steve Smith, Kane Williamson, and Virat Kohli higher, noting their success in challenging conditions worldwide.
"Nope, he is a rung below for that reason. They’ve made runs all over the world in difficult conditions against different oppositions, and that's the only thing stopping Joe Root. I think he's a great player, but is he an all-time great? I don't have him in that realm. I think you've got to make hundreds all around the world," Lehmann had said.
