What did Joe Root say about Johnny Bairstow
Joe Root said about Johnny Bairstow, “I don’t think he liked it.” I don’t think anyone will like it. Will he come? He does well after things like this. You can tell his mood a mile away.” Citing the example of the Edgbaston Test between India and England, he said, “Remember last year’s Edgbaston Test. Someone said something to him. I think he was Virat Kohli and after that he did the best. Let’s hope it happens again.”
I don’t think anyone will leave the crease now
Kohli and Bairstow engaged in a verbal war. Then Bairstow was playing 13 runs off 60 balls. He changed gears and brought up his third consecutive Test century in 119 balls. Root said, “There is always something like this in these big series and this time Johnny is involved. Johnny was not trying to take advantage. It was not like he was at the non-striker’s end trying to sneak in runs. So yes, they felt bad. I don’t think anyone will leave the crease now.”
Don’t get too caught up in all this
Root further said, “So we have to use our emotions, but in a controlled manner. It doesn’t mean don’t show any emotion. This could be the way to get the best out of someone like Johnny. Everyone will deal with it in different ways, but we shouldn’t get too caught up in it all.”
