Ashes: 'I Feel Desperately Sorry For Joe Root', Confesses Former Australian All-Rounder Shane Watson
Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson felt 'desperately sorry' for England captain Joe Root, adding that people should stop criticising him as the tourists are not the best team. Root, despite being the top run-scorer in Test cricket in 2021 with 1708 runs, is facing huge flak for England losing the Ashes in 12 playing days.
"I feel desperately sorry for Root. Things haven't gone to plan. The bowlers in Adelaide, when the ball was moving around, did not perform well; the batsmen haven't scored anywhere near enough runs. He's copping it, but I suppose that comes with being captain of an English touring team who are not doing well. I just wish they'd take a bit of heat off Root because this England team are not the best," wrote Watson in his column for The Times.
