10 best timers of the ball right now

Joe Root

England's batting star Joe Root has proven that he can bat against the best bowlers in the world on difficult pitches and score plenty of runs. Like most of the great batsmen, Root is primarily an attacking player despite having an excellent defensive game and his attacking play is rooted in excellent shot selection coupled with excellent timing.

Root can play all the shots in the MCC batting manual and he often does that with the minimal of physical effort, since his bat meets the ball at the right time at most times. There are very few players who can time the ball as consistently as England's finest batsman at the moment.
