Joe Root

[Liverpool Beachball]

Deserves a thread of his own

Absolute god like form this year and is surely going to smash all England batsman records by some distance by the time he retires

What a man

Best England batsman since Sutcliffe

 

[I am Boss]

Our best ever.

I see he's took his average to over 50 again.

[Mr Redknapp]

Our best ever.

I see he's took his average to over 50 again.

No doubt in my mind.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Get him to number 1 in the rankings

 

[TravellingMackem]

Shame his backs fucked from carrying the whole team, could have gone on and scored even more today otherwise

Still gets loads of shit from people that he’s not good enough to be captain. He’s almost single handedly carrying this squad

His captaincy ability is totally unrelated to his batting ability and is a totally separate discussion - one brought into question again Day 5 at Lords. His batting has never been in question - especially now he's sorted out his conversion problem

Don’t think you can compare his batting to his captaining, he made a few bad decisions at lords and he knows it.

But on his batting at the moment he’s is one of the best in the world and if this continues he will break more records

Best we’ve ever had, nobody will persuade me otherwise

 

[ShieldsGreggs4]

Let’s hope he has some support down under

 

[SAFC 2012]

Hes averaged 69 this year. Steve smith has for something like the last 7 years

I know he was immense in ashes here but you’ll always average more playing most your cricket in Australia

David Warner a prime example.

Agree but Smith has scored runs everywhere, I actually think he’s underrated - his record should get talked about more.
