Root is a phenomenal player. All time leading ODI scorer for England. Isn't he also the leading test match scorer as well
One of only 5 players excluding wicketkeeper in Test Match history to have taken 200+ catches too. He gets better with age...Sachin's record is a possibility!He is Englands highest test match scorer and he might catch Tendulkar

Just need Root to get to a 100 test wickets and he completes the game for me.
Joe Root has taken **71 wickets** in Test matches and **27 wickets** in One Day Internationals (ODIs) as of his most recent games in these formats.[](https://www.mykhel.com/cricket/players/joe-root-p4541/)
A centimetre or so from being out very early onThat was one hell of an innings from Root
Bet @ancoats still isn't happy with that knock!!!It has to be recognised that the Windies are an underwhelming side at the moment. That being said, that's an impressive chase by England. It looked a long way off when we were 2/2 after 9 deliveries. Root is some player. The captaincy weighed him down, but now he's back as as a "regular" player, he looks imperious. And 166 off 139 balls is no mean feat in the 50 over game.
