Watch: Joe Root’s “Ridiculous” Reverse-Scoop Off Neil Wagner Sets Twitter Ablaze
Joe Root stunned Twitter with a spectacular reverse-scoop off pacer Neil Wagner as England chased 296 to complete a series whitewash.
Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum’s revitalized attitude to Test cricket is increasing the awe of viewers with their entertaining brand of cricket with each passing day. Even Joe Root, who is seen as a more conventional Test batter, is joining in on the fun while players like Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes have won over fans with their aggressive batting. With England needing to score 296 to win the third Test against New Zealand at Headingley in Leeds on Day 4, Root stunned Twitter with an outrageous reverse-scoop off bowler Neil Wagner.
English star hitter Root quickly changed positions and scooped the ball over the third man boundary after left-handed Wagner threw one full and across him while running in from over the wicket.
The England Cricket Board shared the video on Twitter and merely stated: “Joseph Root You are utterly absurd.”
Take a look at Joe Root’s daring blast off Neil Wagner.
Joe Root. You are ridiculous.

I didn’t expect this kind of behavior “from Joe Root”
Looks like English test team trying to bring their white ball influences to test cricket while taking their test game into a different dimension with Baz’s effect.
Is this the start of a “new test cricket” ?
Time will tell. https://t.co/zzkJLOL17zโ Poornama๐ (@iam_poor9) June 26, 2022
Brendon McCullum – Test cricket should be made sexy.
Joe Root – *hold my beer* #ENGvsNZpic.twitter.com/7utvWlbwi5

I really canโt explain this shot. We are on a run chase and he has the audacity to pull this shot off.
Absolute insane from Joe Root.
