‘Very Technically Correct’ Root Enjoying Best Years Of His Career, Says Boycott
New Delhi: Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott has said a very technically correct premier batter Joe Root is enjoying the best years of his career in Test cricket.
His comments come after Root went past Alastair Cook to become England's highest scorer in Test cricket via a stunning 262 in the side’s win over Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs at Multan. It has also ensured that Root will have 1000-plus Test runs in a calendar year for the third straight time.
“It was a very flat pitch in Multan with no pace, bounce and very little movement. We would all have liked a bat on it, even at my age. But that is not to take anything away from England. Their batting was magnificent. Joe Root and Harry Brook, using different styles, scored at a great tempo without making mistakes. They didn’t give their wicket away like the Pakistan batsmen.”
