England captain Joe Root had a difficult time during the Ashes series, not least because he copped several painful blows below the belt from Australia's relentless pace bowlers
Ouch! Cummins went after him. He's had such a tough job rooty, scored runs alone while the team collapsed all around him, got blamed for defeats, lost his captaincy. This series had him looking like 'Hide the pain Harold'.
Poor Joe root, had to carry his country most of the series because none of the other players can bat well! He’s a great batter, still can’t believe he hasn’t gotten a hundred on Aussie soil.
He is a great player but watching this I wonder if it is a problem with his technique in facing that particular delivery? I mean it is unusual for a batsman to be hit in the same spot that many times!
