Embarrassing!! Steve Smith is just finished, dragging his career now for 4 years. His average eventually gonna come down below 50 & Joe Root will always be remember as greater than him with 17,000+ test runs. This Ashes, Root has scored double of Smith.

Darren Lehmann's on-air comments during the first Test in Perth went somewhat 'viral' after he said Joe Root's lack of centuries in Australia held him back from being considered a great of the game. Boof re-visits his comments and says he's discussed them with Root himself.

It shocks me how Virat Fans Compare Virat with Root. Kohli isn't even 50 percent as good as Joe Root in Test Cricket. Joe Root Miles Ahead in every aspect. Virat is a complete failure in Test Cricket with no Legacy. Kohli in Tests=Kraigg Brathwaite

Benjamin Gardner said: “Steve Smith is just behind Bradman and the 2nd greatest batsman of all time”. “Joe Root is up there probably at 7th or 8th in the list. He is more close to Younis Khan than to Smith in terms of impact”.
