Root proving to be a much bolder Captain than Cook, mind you your bowlers should still be OK having only bowled 47 overs between them! Could be over in three days (& nights)...
Embarrassing for World Cricket that this labelled as a Test Match when a Second Division County Side would make more of a fist of this than the West Indies.
Patterson was very quick - unbelievable he didn't play more Tests, apparently Graham Gooch said he was the fastest of the lot in fact he thought he was 'frightening'.
Anyone who remembers the Holding/Marshall/Garner/Roberts bowling attack must despair, they are Bangladesh level now which is terrible for World Cricket.
Now Root overtakes Cook but both should be on for big Centuries unless they get themselves out.
What's the betting that when Malan does come out he gets a Golden?
Given the quality of this Windies attack I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't end the series ahead of De Villiers!
150 up, could get messy if they don't break this partnership soon...
