Will Root be able to beat Yousuf's record for most runs in a calendar year?

[sage]

6 innings left and 333 runs to get, given England are bound to bat twice a match

Lol kohli never to be seen.

[Serpico]

Eh he already played 4 more innings than Yousuf

[Nikola]

No he will fail in the ashes

Can't believe MoYo was bradmanesque in 2006.

After conversion, he found the real path

Michael Clarke of 2012......

 

Vietnam flashbacks of a malnourished Ishant sharma running in and getting clobbered for 3 fours every over while the scorecard read 557/3...

Won't happen. Root's peak is over.

[Lone Wolf]

Unless he hits a double ton sooner..    Ain't happening.  That canceled test vs India might  just save Yousuf.

Why is there a asterisk/plus against S/R or the number of balls faced for Viv & Sunny?

Interestingly Joe Root hits very few 6s .. less than Sunny.

Balls faced weren't recorded for some old matches

Failed 

 

Already showing why he's so overrated 

[Vijy]

seems unlikely. yousuf's performance was a true once in a blue moon thing. SRT's 2010 had some excellent innings, even more so in early 2011. glad to see it high up the list.

[urbestfriend]

Surely he'll have a crack at Smith's record..

[Lone Wolf]

Looks like it will take some effort to go past Smith as well.  D/N test won't be easy for run scoring.  Needs a 150 here to stay in contention.  But most def he is the best test bat now in world cricket. 

[Vijy]

root is climbing. if he can get a 200, that will take him close.

[sage]

Root finally getting going look great

[sage]

Update

[vvvslaxman]

He deserves it. What an year he is having. Lone warrior for his side for the best part of the year in the absence of many key players.
