I feel Joe Root can easily surpass Sachin's record for most Test runs

[@James_taylor810]

In his full years of test cricket he averages 1053.6 runs per calendar year. He’ll need to maintain that rate for another 5 years to catch Tendulkar’s record. While not impossible it seems unlikely.

Thankyou England for making test cricket entertaining for us fans The way you played against the mighty Australians today deserves all praise in the world I am sure Australia are gonna give you a great reply and that’s what makes this epic battle more interesting P.s: What a player joe root is 🔥🔥 he has transformed his game for the team and still giving his best 💯

[@dennis65]

Test cricket was always entertaining . This bazball won't work on fair pitches. India and England have adopted cheap strategies to win on their respective home grounds . Not a single delivery swung yesterday . 15-20 balls turned a little . That's it . Shameful

[@cricwik]

@@dennis65 I would have agreed with you if England wouldn’t have performed against Nz in Nz Nz is really hard to beat in Nz and England levelled that series and lost the second test only by one run so overall they were a better team What you said about India is 100 percent true though they have been using these cheap tactics for so long and that’s the reason why they can’t win In difficult conditions

Nah, great decision. I said so at the time, due to the impending weather, and so it has proven to be. Lunchtime the next day: Smith, Warner and Labuschagne out, runs harder to come by, Australia scoring at less than 3 an over, cloudy for the rest of the day, thunderstorms tomorrow. The decision now looks a no-brainer.
