It's a remarkable feat of coordination to edge it, really.

You do all realise that Burns is our 2nd highest run scorer in tests this year and 4th in our test batting averages? 😲ðŸ˜

Only because, somehow, he has played more matches than any other batsman, except Root

To put the shuffling crab’s feat in context our average test score in 2021 can’t be much more than 170, and Root probably has more runs to his name than the rest of the top 6 combined.

Yep - I was coming from the point of view of how crap everyone else is rather than how good he is

This test's 1-6: Root 1549
Burns 496 Hameed 198 Malan 195 Stokes 222 Pope 359
Total=1470
Hope that's right, summed it in my head. TRO is right - Root does have more runs to his name than the rest of the "top" 6 combined

How hideous tonight?
Can Root and Milan dig in for a bit like Brisbane?
I’m going 192ao.
