Root
Williamson
Smith
Kohli is the correct order btw
I'm not sure about where to put Root. I see too much of him, including his failings. I do think it is harder to average 50 when half your tests are played in England. But it is tough to put anyone above Smith, regardless of how much I despise him.

Agree re Kohli. Glad he has quit now as he was clearly on the slide.
