England's batsman Zak Crawley has expressed his delight for teammate Joe Root, who scored his first century in Australia. The innings came to an end with 135 not out as England closed on 325-9 at stumps on day one of the second Ashes Test against Australia in Brisbane.
Crawley described Root as "the best player I've ever played with" after the victory. This statement highlights his admiration for Root's skills, especially considering the Australian conditions that can be challenging for English batsmen.
The milestone was a significant moment for England and their fans, who have been eagerly watching the series. It also brought hope to the team, as they look to regain momentum in the Ashes Test.
Root's batting performance came at an important time for England, allowing them to close on a respectable total despite losing key wickets throughout the day. His elusiveness with the bat is undeniable, and his century has sparked excitement among fans back home.
While Australia's bowlers will be looking to bounce back from a challenging session, their team will need to regroup if they hope to get England's batting lineup on the back foot again tomorrow.

i mean its about time he broke through in aussie conditions lol england needs him right now after that loss last test. his form is so important for their chances of winning this series 
and crawley's statement about him being the best player hes played with is definitely true 
root has been carrying england on his back for ages, its great to see him finally get some recognition for it 
. But for real though, this century is gonna give him a reputation as the savior of English cricket 
. Still, gotta love Root's skills, especially under Aussie pressure – that's like trying to fly while being dropped on your head 
. Can't wait for day two and the Aussies to come at 'em again! 
, i mean, 135 not out in australia is no joke 
, those aussie bowlers must be thinking "wait a minute, this guy's still the man" 
.
, they've got to be holding their breath waiting for the next day's action 
. and root's batting performance was exactly what they needed, a boost of confidence 
. now australia's gonna have to step up their game if they wanna get england back on track again 
.
"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are so full of doubts." 
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings for the Ashes... will Australia bounce back or can they keep the momentum? 
Fingers crossed for Root, mate! 
but Root's been having a solid series so far. is Crawley really calling him "the best player" tho? i need to see more of their partnership before i buy into that hype 
and btw, what makes Crawley think the Aussies are gonna struggle tomorrow? they've got some talented bowlers too
