Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 3345283, member: 8272"] Won is a big stretch- I think one that isn't on the brink of a nervous break down and scored over 1000 runs more than his nearest mate would have helped the side and Root's batting here too. Root carries enough burden with his batting and this year England have played more Tests than anyone. I wouldn't be surprised if Root goes home and says he's done being captain. Root's ability to lead would probably be enhanced too without the captaincy because he wouldn't be ready to snap- like Smith 2019. He's made errors and has to be accountable for that. They haven't got over 300 and haven't got 20 wickets. When England won in 2010 they got over 500 four times- that's the key to winning here. 500 means you can't lose and takes pressure off your bowlers and let's them leak some runs. Root/England haven't done that or even got close so they're always under pressure. [/QUOTE]
