‘We Can Keep Root Quiet’: Boland Makes Bold Statement Ahead Of Ashes Opener
Australia have a history of targeting specific English players – legendary fast bowler Glenn McGrath made it a tradition to focus on England batters before matches, while captain Michael Clarke instructed his bowlers to neutralise Alastair Cook during their 5-0 series win in 2013-14.
As the first Test approaches, Root has drawn attention from local media because he has yet to score a Test century in the country.
