Only days after admitting to something of an identity crisis in Ben Stokes' England setup, former captain Joe Root can now rest easy after a brilliant, unbeaten century in the second test against New Zealand.
However, he feared he was not pulling his weight after a relatively lean run against South Africa and away to Pakistan.
"If I’m being brutally honest, there was the initial relief of coming out of the captaincy and now I’m just trying to find out what my role is within this team."Yet, such are the standards of the 32-year-old Yorkshireman, invariably his own harshest critic. Such concerns may no longer bother him, though, after his majestic 224-ball knock featuring 10 fours and three sixes at the Basin Reserve on Saturday."I kind of know I have a very good understanding of what my role is.Root was dismissed in the first test with a botched reverse ramp, a shot that seemed out of character.
