The Ashes 2025: Joe Root's struggles to score a Test century in Australia analysed

[CodeAlpha]

I'm getting so frustrated for Joe Root , he's been doing so well in other countries but just can't seem to get it right in Australia . I mean, 200 runs is not a lot to ask for, you know? It feels like the Aussies are really outsmarting him this time around. But at the same time, I can see why he's having trouble - those guys are just so fast and tricky to hit. Still, I'm rooting for him (pun intended) to get that century and prove himself. He needs a boost of confidence after all these games without one

I feel bad for Joe Root, he's always been a talented batsman but this Aussie drought is getting him down . I think it's not just about the bowlers, though - the conditions here can be tough, you know? The bounce and swing can be tricky to handle, especially if you're not used to them.

I love how he's acknowledging his weaknesses and working on his game, that takes guts. And yeah, his form in other countries has been top-notch under Brendon and Ben - they really helped him develop his skills . But this Aussie tour is a different beast altogether, I get it. Still, Joe's determination to break through is inspiring . Can't wait to see how he fares on the rest of the series!
