First and foremost their is zero reasoning to hold Root's avg in Bangladesh against him. Everyone knows he played on dustbowls, not to mention the only 3 countries he doesnt avg 50+ in india, Bangladesh and Pakistan were all dustbowls
.
England plays 2 games in Bangladesh this wtc and assuming Bangladesh has the nerve to play fairly, its the perfect moment to cross > 40 avg vs Bangladesh as well.
Australia is the only question mark metric has to improve on as Ireland + Zimbabwe doesnt count since hes played 1 game against each lol.
^^ As we can see this record minus Australia is significantly > Sachin and on par with Steve Smith.
Root also avg 50+ away if you are to remove Australia from this record.
@jeeteshssaxena @Sachin fan Like I said, Dont invent new metrics, If root improves vs Aus, he ranks > Sachin period. All of his records are >>> Sachin minus Australia.
The only thing about both sachin and Smith is that they had freakish peaks with sachin avg 61 and smith avg 65. Smith had a far greater peak due to basically smacking everyone in all metrics and was essentially Bradman for 8 years.
But people won't look at certain peaks, they'll look at the overall record when they retire.
Root has already passed Ponting and Dravid as test batters. His avg is lower due to his past pre 2021 record. But itll rise to 51-53 eventually if he continues at the rate hes going which has remained 54 avg for years.
His home avg is also > sachin's home avg as well not to mention sachin has played 9 matches against Zimbabwe which inflated his stats. Sachin avg 35 in his final years of test cricket.
Sachin is > Atm, but Indians need to stop trying to downplay root due to insecurities. Hes 7 tests away(Bangladesh + Australia tours) from edging past both Sachin and Steve Smith record wise.(This is coming from a fan whos neutral towards England and doesnt care unless Wngland plays vs India where I enjoy indian beat downs.)
We should schedule 9 test matches in Zimbabwe so that root can get a 55 away avg as well like sachin did
