I usually speak or favour players purely based on facts. If a player has done well, I give him a credit and I was the first one to give Root the credit he deserved for scoring 700+ runs at home vs a strong Indian attack.
However, this propaganda that Root’s failure in Australia is equal to SRT’s failure in Pakistan is completely rubbish. By the same token, you could make a case that Root too has failed in Pakistan and he unlike Tendulkar has faced complete nobodies during his era.
I still enjoy watching Root bat and rate him highly but posters need not get overexcited based on his one performance and start making claims such as “he is all set to surpass SRT runs tally or we can’t respect Tendulkar because he averaged only 40 in Tests even though willing to make Root as new Daddy”.
