It was a fair comment. Root's 50 > 100 conversion rate isn't up there with that of the other top players
Curran and Bess need to do better at number 7 and 8 otherwise England will have a very vulnerable tail in Australia at the end of the year.

We have to play our best attack in Aus. Both teams have misfiring batting line ups and excellent bowling units. Their attack is better than ours particularly at home so if we are to have any chance in the Ashes our bowlers will need to play out of their skin.
