Broad Labels Root's Gabba Ton As 'one Of His Best'

By IANS News December 05, 2025 • 10:44 AM View: 39

Stuart Broad: Former fast-bowler Stuart Broad has hailed Joe Root for scoring his first Test century Down Under and described his century as 'one of his best' yet.

Root was in imperious touch as he helped himself to an unbeaten innings of 135 on the opening day's play of the second Test in Brisbane as England went to stumps in a strong position at 325/9.

Root's ton draws the right-hander within one century of Australian great Ricky Ponting (41) and moves him just 11 Test centuries behind legendary India batter Sachin Tendulkar.
