Joe Root Ends 2021 With Third Most Runs In A Calendar Year In Test History

By AFP News December 28, 2021 • 11:19 AM View: 1243

England lost the Ashes in humiliating style on Tuesday but for Joe Root, it has been an incredible 2021 with the bat, the skipper ending the calendar year with the third-most Test runs in history.

His dismissal on day three of the third Test in Melbourne for 28 left him with 1,708 runs for the year, at an average of 61.00, behind only Pakistan's Mohammad Yousuf (1,788 in 2006) and West Indian legend Viv Richards (1,710 in 1976).
