Cricket

Thought we were dead and buried at start of play yesterday. Excellent fightback with the ball and wonderful batting by Stokes ,Foakes and especially Root who is surely destined to go psst Cook as England's leading test runscorer.
The rest of the batting was crap though.
 
Joe Root though.
What a batsman. ??
His average increased as a captain in carrying the world’s worst batting unit in his shoulders. Smith, Kohli and Williamson his peers in the world rankings haven’t added that additional pressure. Also throw in the fact half the year he is batting in England, which has the most least favourable batting conditions in world cricket. He really is a class act.

It's his ability to make it look so easy. As he said in his post match interview, he just loves batting.
