I think Root has achieved more than Anderson. Anderson is a very good bowler but not as good as fast bowlers: Marshall, Akram, Younis, Walsh, Ambrose, Donald and Pollock. For me he sits behind them (as does Starc).
Joe Root: very fine career. No one can knock him on that. But I dont have him ahead of Lara or Tendulkar.

Kane realising he'd have to play Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc and Lyon 20 times in 6 years

If not for sandpapergate, Root wouldn't even be the best batsman of his generation imo
Never really had a series defining Ashes and no 100s to show in Australia obviously (got smoked down under for his most of his career)

Williamson's been injured every way apart from being struck by lightning...
There's always something to push him back... eg comes back from anterior cruciate ligament knee injury to miss 5 months and the start of the World Cup..... first innings back.... gets hit on the hand by a fieldsman's throw... LOL!

Sadly barely been able to follow this Test other than catching yesterday's highlights.
Root is amazing though. Hopefully this has been discussed here a bit.
He's like, really good at cricket.

Serious question:
In the last 5 to 10 years how many injuries has Joe Root had that's sidelined him from cricket?
Trying to think at the last 'bad one' or so.
With just circa 2550 test runs to go and with England playing 10-14 tests per year he doesn't even need to average 45 runs per dig to get there.
Just stay healthy.

I don’t think he’s missed a test due to injury. Pretty impressive.

Martin Crowe is still my favourite NZ batsman just like Gower is still my favourite English batsman, they scored less runs but they scored them in style.
