Head coach agrees with Michael Vaughan: to truly make his mark, Root must lead England to triumph in Australia this winter
A bit like telling someone you love them and being met with “I love spending time with you, too” in response, Chris Silverwood was asked on Sunday whether Joe Root is a great England captain and replied: “I think he’s a good Test captain, yes.”
It was an amusing answer as England’s head coach reflected on his side’s handsome victory by an innings against India at Headingley, one that ended a run of seven Tests without a win and puts this enticing series level before the fourth Test at the Oval, which begins on Thursday.
