will Joe root break Sachin record

[ungboysj]

For highest test run

 

He is about 4000 test run away 

 

I have never seen root out of form and is still below 34 years age

 

So @50 averge needs about 80 innings or 45/50 tests 

 

England play 12-15 test every year so in 3 year time he will be 37 and can break it

 

Can he be stopped?

 

Also I m big joe root fan he is criminally underrated and most aesthetic batsman and most complete batsman  in world for more than decade in test cricket 

 

People don't understand its difficult to score in England

These two 5 match series is gonna be key for that.  

India touring England next year and ofc Ashes in Australia.

 

If he does well in both of them.. SRT's record is as good as gone.

[Prabhdeep Singh]

Even if he does, there is nothing great about Root, boring to watch, no flare.

 

Someone like James Vince should have been backed but never was. He should have been backed like Rohit was for India when he was struggling in Tests.

 

This England batting line score quickly but the stroke play is ugly to watch. Harry Brook a good addition.

You are saying he will score 4000 runs in 2 series? What? 4000 is the total career of most batsmen my dude.

[Gollum]

He plundered us for 800 runs last time.

Scoring against two toughest possible teams means he will steamroll sides like SL WI NZ Pak SA.

That's easy calculation about how it's gonna pan out.

Anyways he is the most complete and Talented batter Since SRT I have seen.

If he breaks it won't be a tukka.

I am betting on Bumrah to nail him. He did struggle against him in India. 

Boom somehow has got that mental edge over him ... Cummins always owns him somehow.

Biggest 2 barriers standing in his way.

[Stan AF]

He will break that record for sure.

That's impossible. But,

 

If I'm not wrong he did score like 3000+ runs in 2 seasons.

[putrevus]

If Root plays 175 plus tests which is not impossible, he has a very good chance of overtaking Sachin.

 

The most pleasing batsman to watch in this era. He is very underrrated batsman.

Alistair Cook was at 12500 runs at the age of 33 and retired after a string of failures and England didn't even have his replacement ready.

Root may face the same thing if he fails this time in Australia where he does not have single 100 in 27 innings and averages in 30s.

He deserves to break sachin runs. Better match winner than sachin

In my book, most runs, most wickets, most 100s, etc, are not meaningful records and usually the result of a player playing more games than others. 
 

Playing for India, “superstars” have an advantage as they are difficult to drop and tend to retire at the convenience. 
 

Runs/wkts/100s/etc per test/inning is more meaningful once you factor in the minimum criteria such as 2,000 runs, 200 wkts, 10 100s, etc. 
 

Don Bradman had close to 7,000 runs w/ 29 100s in around 50 (52) tests. Now that is exceptional.

Root is the Anderson of batting. Will retire from ODIs soon and keep playing in test format. Cook also had a chance but the guy was never the same after 2013-14 Ashes. The old gritty Cook was gone and he stretched his career for 4 years on the reputation, Root on the other hand had never been in poor form barring Ashes in Australia, he had trouble converting 50s into long innings but He ended that draught in 2021 and churned centuries after centuries. He has golden chance of beating that record but still very far from it.

I despise stat padders and selfish players. 

Sachin is a great player. Probably amongst the best but he is not the kind of player I like.

[Gollum]

10 more tests for Eng rest of the year.

Then 11 next year including home test vs Zimbabwe.

Thats' a massive copout, find me 1 player who didn't get at least somewhat nervous in the 90's - I'll give 10 who did. He also skipped the easy WI tour a few times post 2002, Zim a couple(?) of times as well. If he played as many tests as HTB Root has in his prime he'd have easily crossed 20k runs & probably played 20 more tests in 2 less years!

He missed one WI series(2011), once in Zim I think. Too many ifs.
