[VIDEOS] Billy Root - The next big thing for English cricket?

[Bleedgreen4ever]

Very early in his career but I have a strong feeling that he can stun the world with his batting

Averages 45 plus in all 3 formats of domestic although he has played very few matches.
Looked good technically..certainly better than many current English batters.

Just 25 years of age..hope ECB do not waste him and give him a go soon.

What do you guys think?

He got the name certainly

He's Joe Roots more masculine looking brother, they look like twins so it will be a nice sight to see twins playing in the same team again since the kiwi twins

Personally, I think Keaton Jennings and Haseeb Hameed are the future of English cricket but junior Rooty is bound to be a good talent. Have heard good things about him.

Hameed will replace Cook after this Ashes no doubt about that

Unless Cooky scores a double ton next match, I think so too.

He is Joe Root's brother.

How can you suggest a guy who can't even get in the lions squad right now will be replacing Cook in 3 games time?

Billy Root has a great conversion rate at least.

 

[Ab Fan]

I think he will do better than many young players who haven't been convincing in the current England lineup.

Mind enlighting me on what happened to Haseeb? where has he disappeared to?

Broke his finger during that tour of India then had a pretty poor county season making him unselectable topping it off by breaking his finger again at the end of it.

He is Joe Root's brother.

Yes I know that...forgot to mention it.

Damn, that's the difference between PCB and ECB.

Will Root?
Australian fans would love him to play a lot of cricket.
