[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1082225, member: 72205"] Yeah my usualy complaint against Root is the nature of his innings, when they occur and all that other non-statistical stuff. He holds up to get in the conversation on the stats then were looking at do I think he's a better Batsman than some of our best ever players and I come on the side of no, as noted I think we've had three openers that are better batsman and I do think both Trott and Pietersen were better 3/4. Its just my way of saying he wouldn't make my all time England XI and he might struggle to make the 2nds. With captaincy I've been saying for a while call up one of the county captains thats actually does it week in week out (the Somerset fan yells Abell but I'm sure there are others) instead of the England stuff. Part of Roots problem is he was such a good batsman is that he was bought into England so young he's barely played for Yorkshire since and hasn't learnt anything about being a leader. [/QUOTE]
