Root Will Need To Take The Surfboard Off His Front Leg: Warner On England’s Ashes Hopes
The World No: Former Australia opener David Warner believes Joe Root will be massive for England when they travel to Australia for a five-Test Ashes series later this year.
Root has been dismissed 10 times in 18 Tests by Australia seamer Josh Hazlewood - one fewer than the 11 times he has been dismissed by Australia captain Pat Cummins and India bowler Jasprit Bumrah. The World No. 1 ranked Test batter has never scored a ton in Australia and has an average score of 35.86 in Down Under.
"The big anchor there is Rooty (England batter Joe Root), who is yet to score a hundred in Australia. Josh Hazlewood tends to have his number quite a lot. He will have to take the surfboard off his front leg,” said Warner to BBC Sport.
