Joe Root is the best English batsman in modern history. Discuss.

He absolutely oozes class. His defence is robust, his strokeplay magnificent. A smart little fielder and I've seen worse spinners bowl for England. Seems a thoroughly likeable chap too (albeit a Yorkshireman).

Wd JR imo.

Oh, I think he's very good with the potential to be great, but your assessment is rather premature and slightly bizarre given that - as I say - he's currently batting against one of the weakest attacks in world cricket.
