being could do to make this a consistent run scoring team hell i don't care if you're ms doni johnny cash to the dalai lama no one can take a batting lineup of this many flawed players and make them a much better lineup they are what they are they might have series or two where it works and they'll be bailed out by their all-rounders and bowlers because that is their strength and of course joe root will win some with the mountain of runs because that's what he does but this is not a team good at batting what coach could turn five batting spots they can't average NUMBER_TOKEN between them into a good team civil war didn't coach their techniques into them he inherited a batting lineup where every player has multiple failures we're not talking about refining working methods here we're looking at taking players who have never made big runs domestically or batters who have struggled at international level for a long time and making them into proper batters is there a magic pill i don't know about have you ever heard the phrase shuffling deck chairs on the titanic well this is actually more like shuffling which venomous snake you want to lie on as the boat is sinking if you want to say silver wood could do more sure knock yourself out but unless he's an actual faith healer there is nothing he could do to fix the problems of broken batting that started well before he took over and let's be honest as it looks at the moment are gonna be around far after he's fired and it's not to silverwood under the pump joe root was asked if he's running a dictatorship i mean what is happening here even if you're one of those people that believes that captaincy matters more than anything else in cricket you could get a hundred mike really's working on this england batting lineup for a hundred years and they'd still end up a little more than a frown emoji the only thing root can do right now is make enough runs that the rest of his team's failures don't matter and you can see from this handy graph i made you when he has done that england have won four of the six tests he's made NUMBER_TOKEN in and that's all that's left isn't it i mean essentially he can be slightly more aggressive he can yell at people he can do funky fields he just needs to make a lot of runs and hope occasionally his bowlers back him up because in this year when root has scored more runs than any england player ever has in a year and the third most of any human ever on those very same pictures his top seven batters who aren't him average a combined NUMBER_TOKEN the problem isn't the australian bowlers coach captain or even the selectors it's the batting because at a certain point england needs to work out what happened to their batting and also what on earth they could do to try and fix it i mean it starts with honesty but i think it's a lot more than that
