Team Selection Is Not At Fault, Need To Work On Our Batting & Fielding, Says Joe Root

By IANS News December 11, 2021 • 13:27 PM View: 1659

England captain Joe Root blamed the batting and fielding effort of the side for the nine-wicket loss in the Ashes opener at The Gabba on Saturday, adding that there was nothing wrong with team selection.

The tourists -- after a brief fightback on Day 3 when Root and Dawid Malan steadied their second innings following a disastrous first-innings total of 147 -- lost eight wickets on the morning of Day 4 for just 77 runs as their innings folded up for 297 runs.
