Ashes: It Was Really Important To Show Character For The Rest Of The Series, Says Root After MCG Win
Boxing Day Test: Joe Root said England have shown their real character and bravery with the bat as they have achieved a much-needed breakthrough by winning their first Test match on Australian soil since 2011, having beaten Australia by four wickets in the Boxing Day Test match at the MCG.
As a result of this victory, England secured their first Test series win in Australia since January 2011 at the SCG. This was also Joe Root's first-ever Test win on Australian soil in 18 matches, and for skipper Ben Stokes, it was his first win in Australia, after 13 Tests.
“Obviously to lose the series is very disappointing but it was really important we showed a lot of character for the rest of the series,” Root told Isa Guha after the match. “There's been a lot thrown at this team … clearly it was a very fast-forward Test match with the surface we were presented with but I think we adapted to it as much as we could and exploited it when we got the opportunities.”
