#2 Joe Root's Conversion Woes
While Joe Root has established himself as one of the best batsmen in the world, his conversion rate has been a major worry.
In 5 Test matches against India in 2016-17, Root made five 50+ scores, however only one was a hundred. England went on to lose the series 4-0.
Coming to the 2017-18 Ashes where he had the added responsibility of being captain. In the five Test matches down under, he made five fifties, no hundreds and England ended up losing 4-0 again.
With a team that's so reliant on him, it’s simply not good enough, especially if you compare it with Kohli's or Smith’s performances. However, the other batsmen do need to step it up too.
