  1. Unfortunately england came to play with only joe root , dawid malan ,stokes and robinson rest others are dissapointingπŸ™ƒ

  2. England Captain decision to bat first on Brisbane wicket is a big blunder. Australia demolished England on home turf.

  3. EXCEPT ROOT ENGLAND BATTING IS WORST EVER

  4. Leach was awesome. Very good crust, tender meat, absolutely delicious pies.

  5. Do cricketers use the same old cap when they're being handed over in thier debut?

  6. England should change its test captain

  7. England is too much dependent on joe root.

  8. icc must change umpire call decision

  9. Australian pura 5-0 se jita gaa

  10. No Joe you erred.
    Learn to admit your mistakes, it will make you a better captain.

  11. Winning in Gabba is not everyone’s cup of tea 😹 Ask Tim Paine when he asked Ashwin to come at Gabba and rest became history! 😹

  12. What hundred from root and stokes in next match

  13. Is that batting first decision supported by the facts ? Is he doing a Boris Johnson ??? Cannot admit to the truth ?

  14. Ball nicked not because of luck but due to extra bounce….What he meant by that, Is he trying to say something indirectly to the reporter, specially because he was probably from India…

  15. I'm an Aussie and I can't believe Stuart Broad wasn't playing.

  16. What an excellent captain and gentleman. I have a lot of respect for Joe Root as one of the premier cricketers around the world and how he handles himself on and off the field, as much as I was happy that he got out in the 2nd Innings leading to our win, I did want him to get his century.

  17. With showers and cloud cover expected and GABBA wicket always have that extra for pacers on day-1 it settles down on Day-2, day-3 he would have bowled πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

  18. A very nice guy & clearly England’s best batsman.

  19. Who are they who thought that root is just a test player???.i saw all his T twenty matches and found him more classy in that formate as well.ODI is also his romance..He should keep playing all formates

  20. He has really matured as a captain. Sounds like someone leading for 10-12 years.

  21. Dear Mr Root – Please drop Burns and Hameed. You are not gettin ideal start. You can bag in Johny Bairstow and give a try to Jason Roy

  22. Well spoken Joe Root. Totally spot on with his answers and clearly not making excuses for the loss and giving credit to Australia πŸ™‚πŸ‘

  23. Ashes in england is so much better

  24. BATTING FIRST WAS THE WRONG DECISION ….FOR ENG ….

  25. Eng batting is quite fumble n without clouderson they are already half of their bowling strength ! No wonder they lost at the stroke of first ball.

  26. love you root ……………..i know you wil comeback

  27. plzz provide subtitles ……

  28. I should have been the captain πŸ˜‘

  29. He looked good with the bat himself and handled this press conference with class. Want to see an Australian clean sweep but closer matches would make it way more interesting.

  30. Buttler and Stokes really need to step up big time!!

  31. Rory Burns for England and Joe Burns for Australia be like Ta ta bye bye sab khatam πŸ˜€πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜†πŸ˜

  32. Rooty is an amazing gentleman too bad he is one man army

  33. Next test your team will dominate Aussies

  34. In my opinion Joe Root is better bowler than the Bald head Jack Leach. πŸ‘

  35. Rooty is a class act and really analytical in his breakdown of the game cannot fault him as a captain

  36. This is the difference between Indian fans and other countries fans who always support their captain and appreciate him even after a loss but Indian fans and Commentors never support Virat as captain in difficult situations. Always hate and criticize him in every situation.

  37. This guy deserves a better batting partners. Not this fragile England line up

  38. Rory burns david Malan vs spin bowlerπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž

  39. I hate that word Joe Root keeps saying we're learning we've learnt F** ALL. Well played England….. NOT. 😠 the top order cannot bat or Field and I can't see them scoring any runs.😭😭😭

  40. Aus whenever gets Wickets:
    Their players starts spitting, jumping, abusing opponents πŸ™πŸ™..

    As always their cricket is very good but behaviour and character is shameful 🀑🀑🀑🀑🀑🀑🀑🀑

  41. Would bowl first under cloudy condition some time you should except your mistakes

  42. 5 test match series why ? Should be 3

  43. I think this England team are going to turn it around
