Nothing to do with the BBL but you've got to feel sorry for Joe Root.
His record this calendar year is outstanding: 14 matches, 1,606 runs, 64.24 av.
The other English batsmen?
Hameed: 5 matches, 198 runs, 24.75 av.
Burns: 10 matches, 496 runs, 27.55 av
Malan: 4 matches, 274 runs, 45.66 av.
Stokes: 6 matches, 256 runs, 23.27 av.
Pope: 9 matches, 364 runs, 22.75 av.
Butler: 8 matches, 319 runs, 26.58 av.
So the next 5 English batsmen in this test have scored 18 runs less than Root this year. Less tests, of course, but what a burden for Root to carry.
