'It's made him very hard to bowl to.' 👀 Joe Root brought out some of the more outrageous shots you're likely to see in the Test arena en-route to his century. 🤯 9WWOS TheAshes
Former Australian skipper Mark Taylor suggested the tourists' bowling allowed Root to get comfortable.
"He's brought that into his play under this new regime of aggressive cricket and it's made him very hard to bowl to.Taylor was also full of praise for Stokes' declaration despite having two wickets in hand."You've got to say full marks to Ben Stokes because he's always looking to keep the game moving.
"For him, an extra 20-30 runs against a second new ball, was it worth as much as maybe getting Khawaja or Warner? That's the way he thinks."He's looking to keep Australia under pressure all the time and I think if he keeps doing that we're in for a very good series." The former captain found a brilliant ally in the recalled Jonny Bairstow, who helped the home side rebound from a slight stutter in the middle of the day with a brilliant run-a-ball 78 that came in a partnership of 121.
