England's Test captain바카라 웹사이트had failed to reach three figures in the format during the previous year, yet he바카라 웹사이트put that lean spell behind him to바카라 웹사이트deliver a double hundred in바카라 웹사이트the series opener against Sri Lanka.바카라 웹사이트
The Yorkshireman made바카라 웹사이트228 -바카라 웹사이트the second highest Test score recorded by an England player in Asia -바카라 웹사이트to help his team seize control of the first Test in Galle, though the home side hit back when left to deal with a first-innings deficit of 286.바카라 웹사이트
While half-centuries from Kusal Perera바카라 웹사이트and바카라 웹사이트Lahiru Thirimanne, who ended day three on 76 not out, held up the tourists' push for victory, Sri Lanka still have plenty to바카라 웹사이트do with the bat.바카라 웹사이트
For Root, though, the hard work has already paid off,바카라 웹사이트as he바카라 웹사이트explained the key바카라 웹사이트was finding the right바카라 웹사이트rhythm바카라 웹사이트again바카라 웹사이트at the crease.바카라 웹사이트
"I've changed quite a few things, to be honest," Root told the host broadcasters in Sri Lanka바카라 웹사이트at the conclusion of play on day three.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
"I've tried to get a bit more rhythm back into my batting, just trying to find triggers and things I can do when the bowler is running in, or at the end of his mark, which might just give me a sort of바카라 웹사이트rhythm바카라 웹사이트to things.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
"It looks a bit different to previously,바카라 웹사이트but it feels바카라 웹사이트really good."
Root has now managed four Test double centuries바카라 웹사이트- only바카라 웹사이트Wally Hammond and바카라 웹사이트Alastair Cook have managed more for England - while his 321-ball knock in Galle saw him pass a notable personal milestone.바카라 웹사이트
The 30-year-old became the seventh England batsman to reach 8,000 Test runs; he could rise several spots on the all-time list during the coming months too, as a hectic schedule provides plenty of opportunities to add to his career tally.바카라 웹사이트
After completing their two-Test trip to Sri Lanka, England have home and away series against India to come, while the end of 2021 sees an Ashes tour to Australia.바카라 웹사이트
The hectic schedule comes after 2020 was disrupted바카라 웹사이트due to바카라 웹사이트the coronavirus pandemic, though Root made use of his time by바카라 웹사이트analysing바카라 웹사이트not just his own game but also바카라 웹사이트the methods used by other players, including New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, now ranked as the best Test batsman in the world.바카라 웹사이트
"There was so much time to look back at things and watch other cricket from around the world, some of the best players," Root said about the impact of바카라 웹사이트the바카라 웹사이트COVID-19바카라 웹사이트health바카라 웹사이트crisis.바카라 웹사이트
"Kane at the minute is playing unbelievably well, so [I was] watching him and how he goes about things. You've got to learn off your peers - I think it's important to do that - and try and advance your game as much as possible.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
"We've got some fantastic coaches바카라 웹사이트as well. [I'm] Trying to tap into the likes of Jacques Kallis, Paul Collingwood and Graham Thorpe on a regular basis.바카라 웹사이트
"I'm very fortunate to have those guys to learn from and work with."
