Hi there, myself and some others at Coddington and Winthorpe CC are taking on Newark Half Marathon as a fundraiser for our club. Recent years have meant our funds have reduced and so we’re doing this as a way to gain a bit of support for the club. Cheers

Absolutely terrible take. Can’t ever just enjoy them without trying to take another down. If we want to be picky then we can talk about Smith’s no 4th innings ton, Root basically playing as a 4th opener since Cook retired, and of course the huge asterisk around Smith in 🇿🇦
IMAGINE THINKING ROOT IS BETTER THAN SMITH.
Joe Root just hit 160. Great. He’s tied with Ponting at 41 tons. Fantastic. But let’s be real: Root is playing a different game than Steve Smith. 🙄
While Root spent the last two years racking up hundreds on flat tracks to fix his stats, Smith just walked into the SCG and:
• Passed Sir Don Bradman for the most runs ever scored against England (5,085!).
• Passed Jack Hobbs to become the #2 Ashes run-scorer of all time.
• Hit his 37th century in fewer innings than Sachin Tendulkar.
Root is a master of volume, but Smith is the master of destruction. Root scores runs when the sun is out; Smith scores runs to break English hearts and rewrite the history books. 🇦🇺
You can keep your "consistent accumulation." I’ll take the man who only has the Don left to catch.
Smith > Root. It’s not a debate anymore; it’s a fact.
