So Mr.Morgan Root's dismissal was the reason for your loss in the 2nd T20?

[Malcolm Merlyn]

In the last match,english captain Eoin Morgan blamed the incorrect dismissal of Joe Root as the reason for their loss.Anyone who has watched Root play in T20s will tell you he is a liablity and unlikely to score freely.Today also he has most likely cost England the match.

 

May be the Irishman should have tried to find a better reason to save his English captaincy.

Tour ended at the right time for England. I think they've gone through every excuse in the book this tour.

 

[King Tendulkar]

And on this tour England won 8 of 11 tosses 

 

but excuses keep coming from them

Writing someone off who has absolutely brilliant records in both forms of limited overs internationals after a couple of poor (although last game the majority of the innings wasn't bad at all) innings is a bit silly.

Every commentator,including english ones have said that Root doesnt have the big shots.

I feel to an extent he binds the team together .Today , after he got out the whole team collapsed like a pack of cards .

He choked off the runs.Thats why they lost.Morgan went for a slog and the rest is history.

I don't think that is a big deal as most people make it. He may become a liability when expected run rates on a wicket are 10+, but he's played brilliant innings when the team has been required to do that.

Him as a batsman is good enough to play on most days, for most teams

Someone like Root just exposes how amazing and once in a life time player Kohli is.  Root is world class, top notch.  But cant do the chase, cant program what to do in given sitiations,panics , gets bogged down.  Kohli meanwhile is a computer, with ice in his veins, different level mentally

Root is good in T20 too.Just wasnt his day

if only stats could tell everything.

 

Misbah ul Haq avgs 45 plus in tests,more than Ganguly,Aravinda,Anwar,Gooch etc he isnt even half the batsman.Same goes for Uae Khan.

Younis Khan is a better test batsman than all of them mentioned .

Perhaps except Gooch who was an opener and hard to compare.

UAE khan has a better avg than Viv Richards Lara Dravid Ponting Gavaskar etc he isnt even quarter the batsman.

[BeautifulGame]

UAE khan has a better avg than Viv Richards Lara Dravid Ponting Gavaskar etc he isnt even quarter the batsman.

And he isn't a better batsman than them.But comfortably greater batsman than the likes of Ganguly or De Silva in test cricket.

That was for Misbah.

Agree, Root is the root of all their evils in LOIs. He is limited in LOIs in Indian conditions or when it is time to force a play. May be a ODI specialist..definitely not a t20 expert like Raina.
