Getting Test Ton In Australia Give A Lot Of Satisfaction To Root: Hussain
BBC Test Match Special: Former England skipper Nasser Hussain believes Joe Root getting a century in Australia should be the next big goal for him in Test cricket, adding that achieving it would give tons of satisfaction to right-handed batter, who recently hit a record 34th ton.
After making 143 in the first innings, Root, 33, surpassed Sir Alastair Cook's tally of 33 Test tons by scoring 103 - his second century of the match at Lord’s. Root is also just 96 runs from surpassing Cook's tally of 12, 472 Test runs for England.
"He's the greatest England batter I have seen, for so many different reasons. At the end of his career, it would be nice for him to sit there and think 'I got a hundred in Australia' - that, for him, I think would give him a lot of satisfaction. But right now, are we watching England's greatest-ever batter? I would say yes," said Hussain on Sky Sports Cricket ahead of day four’s play.
