    Good article by David Hopps on CricInfo: 'Joe Root puts golf before Yorkshire, in symptom of system in crisis'

    I’ve a bit of a problem with the article. Joe Root didn’t put golf before Yorkshire. His employer the ECB allowed him to. It’s a big difference.

    I think Root needs to put out an official statement as I’m sure you’re right.

    I’ve just been informed by a Yorkshire member that Root was told a few weeks ago by the ECB to take a rest from cricket.
    He then agreed to play in the Dunhill Masters for charity.
    Why else would he have a photo with Piers Morgan and KP ?

    Aye, it's all the fault of the ECB. Ye Gods, talk about heads in sand...

    The three month gap between the last test of our summer and the first test in Pakistan not a big enough rest if he plays for Yorkshire. If he had played the Glous match and we'd won it he wouldn't have been needed for the last game. It could have been a played until we hopefully stay up basis.

    Common sense doesn’t seem to be an attribute of the board

    Probably more like forced him to, than allowed him to.

    For some reason, the ECB seem to feel like there's nothing worse for a cricketer than playing cricket.

    Surrey didn't seem to have the same problem with their England players......

    Nope. Pope and Foakes made themselves available for selection as did Broad for Notts. Root simply didn't fancy it...
