Writing about cricket again…@TheAthletic
👏 "I think he'll go past him. It is a ridiculous achievement by our greatest ever player." Steve Harmison reflects on Joe Root moving to second in the all-time leading run scorers in Test Cricket #ENGvIND is available for overseas listeners on the @Cricket_TS YouTube Channel
Sachin's runs per game: 79.61 Root's runs per game: 85.41
Root moves to no 2 and should be odds on favourite to reach 15922. Certainly he has distanced himself from all his contemporaries. England play so many tests that, inevitably, they must hold all test records. Root has played 157 in 13 tests, 12/year. Tendulkar, by comparison,…
Joe Root is now the second highest runscorer in Tests thanks to another flawless century. He is the Peter Pan of cricket who just gets better and better. He is now closing on Sachin Tendulkar - surpass him and the record will surely be his forever. @Paul_Newman66 |…
Joe Root can become Test cricket’s greatest runscorer. And that record would never be beaten. Thoughts on a memorable day at Old Trafford for @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/65157…
Big win, that, in the relegation battle

The real Thomas Frank…… excellent, this, by @jaydmharris for @TheAthletic… nytimes.com/athletic/64994…
The great substitute debate. Should India have been allowed to replace the clearly injured Rishabh Pant at Old Trafford? A piece for @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/65135…
This is the point about Crawley. That average against high pace and on pitches with a bit of bounce…
Zak Crawley is unique: the better the bowling, the better he plays Dibbly dobblers may not be to his liking, but the opener averages 80 against bowling above 88mph and this desperately needed innings of 84 will quieten doubters, ✍️ @sjamesjourno thetimes.com/sport/cricket/…
India batter Rishabh Pant has clearly been injured in the fourth Test against England - Dhruv Jurel can replace him behind the stumps but not at the crease. One England captain says that is wrong, others say it is the harsh realities of the game. It is an argument that is not…
Rishabh Pant is the India superstar who stared at death – and came back. Great piece by Anantaajith Raghuraman for @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/64857…
Liam Dawson and the England comeback he thought would never happen. A first day piece from Old Trafford for @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/65113…
Good debate this….i can see both sides
Should Test cricket introduce substitutions? Rishabh Pant's injury has prompted some fierce debate on the TMS podcast 🗣 🤔 #BBCCricket #ENGvIND
Rehan Ahmed, who scored 115 - his fourth ton of this County Championship - against Derbyshire in the first innings, followed it up with a six-wicket haul in the second. A sensational all-round season for him 🎉
Liam Dawson waited almost 3000 days to resume his Test career for England. Seven balls into his comeback, the 35-year-old was back in the wickets. He's a most unlike Bazball selection but he makes Ben Stokes' team a better one. @Paul_Newman66 | theathletic.com/6511317/?sourc…
