5/398, if Root wanted to he could get 400. Pitch is a bit up and down but she's flat as a tack.

Great numbers, criticized alot because he doesn't convert (17 hundreds/45 fifties) but having the best average in the top 10 shows how good he has been.

Australians will probably never have the highest opinion of Root. Only averages 40 against us in total and only averages 38 in Australia with no 100's. Based on what the average aussie punter has seen it isn't phenomenal statistics.

Averages over 50 against India and South Africa which is a pretty decent effort.

He's a terrific player. One downfall is his record here in Australia, he's done OK against the Aussies at home as batting in England is typically hard but here he has been poor in converting starts.

Only an imbecile would deny he's a class act. The fact he still averages what he does without converting as much as he does proves the quality is there.

Absolutely, from what I read/watch he gets alot of flak from the English public and press about his conversation rate but his numbers are obviously very good, top 10 in their highest run getters now will surely shut some doubters up. Played 88 test matches for his 7282 runs which shows he's scored them quickly too.

Bob Willis dies at age 70 from Cancer.

Great competitor and someone who has a lot of mates here in Adelaide.

He represented all that was right with cricket.

A sad day for cricket.

He was a magnificent competitor and you could summarize his approach with the words 'substance over style'.

Very good point, why wouldn't there be a "standard ball" used for all test matches, played everywhere?
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!
