    The Robin Smith square cut was an absolute thing of beauty.

    We play the Aussies in the Ashes in England again in 2027.

    But who knows. Joe Root is only 34. He is a fit guy and seems to be getting better with age.

    Inevitable.

    At risk of repeating myself, we are lucky to be watching in his era.

    Rooooooot won't retire until he's overtaken Sachin Tendulker as the leading test run maker they reckoned on TMS yesterday that he could do that during the home ashes series in 2027 if he continues at the current rate of run accumulation.
