At least us yorkies know what double figures look like
no discipline, utter guff. You have to be able to bat 200/300 balls and score at 60/70 strike rate, England either just defensive without the ability to score or flash without any backbone or guile to be able to defend their wicket at the same time. County Championship not delivering players of the required standard, not even Root is consistent enough.
Sorry but batting at 60/70 strike rate is incredibly aggressive for test match cricket, anything over 50 is (Pieterson's strike rate was about 60, de Villiers is at about 53). And if Root isn't consistent enough then fuck knows who is.no discipline, utter guff.
