Joe Root Calls for England Batsmen Improvement After World Cup Bowling Nightmare

England's ODI World Cup

England's cricket captain, Joe Root, didn't mince words when addressing his team's recent batting woes. In their recent match against New Zealand, England's highest ODI run-scorer, Root himself, managed to score 77 runs, but he expressed disappointment in the team's approach.

Root observed that Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, and Liam Livingstone were all dismissed while trying to hit the ball for a maximum, caught in the deep. Jos Buttler's dismissal was also unconventional, as he attempted a risky shot to third man.

With their next game against Bangladesh just around the corner, Root emphasized the need for England to return to their trademark powerful and intimidating style of white-ball cricket.

"We're committed to our team's identity," Root emphasized. "In Dharamsala, we'll change our approach, smashing the ball deep into the stands to showcase our batting prowess. We aim to apply relentless pressure, posting imposing scores."

While England's bowlers also had an off day, Root acknowledged that batting has been their real strength during their successful period. However, the absence of key players like Jason Roy, Eoin Morgan, and Ben Stokes in the opening match resulted in a lack of power and experience. Dawid Malan, Harry Brook, and Liam Livingstone, although talented, are relatively new to the ODI World Cup stage and need to adapt quickly.

"In a tournament like this, getting our batting group firing on all cylinders is crucial," Root stated in an interview with the BBC. "We made promising starts, but we couldn't capitalize on them. We need to build on those starts to post big totals."

Root also emphasized the importance of composure and resilience, acknowledging that facing pressure is part of any World Cup journey. He remains confident in England's proven methods, which have led to success over a sustained period.

"We know our approach works, and every World Cup-winning side encounters challenges along the way. We'll stay true to our style and aim to overcome this bump in the road."
