Joe Root says there are “many more runs still to get” after he overhauled Sir Alastair Cook to become England’s all-time leading Test runscorer.
Joe Root said there are “many more runs still to get” after he overhauled Sir Alastair Cook to become England’s all-time leading Test runscorer.
Only once before have England conceded more runs in the first innings of a match and gone on to win, 130 years ago against Australia in 1894. “I would be betting on Root to do it,” Cook told Test Match Special. “I don't see Root losing that hunger and ability to keep driving himself forward for the next couple of years.”
“The only slight hurdle in his way will be the Ashes series - there is always something happening around the series,” said Cook, who was captain on Root’s first Ashes tour, a 5-0 defeat in 2013-14.
