DoggfatherJoe Root Matches Ricky Ponting with 41st Test Century
Yo, in the epic fifth Ashes Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, England's own Joe Root just dropped his 41st Test century, tying with the legend Ricky Ponting. After a lil' rain delay, Root was chillin' at 72 not out, cruisin' to a smooth 160 runs, helping England rack up 384 all out. Day 1? They were vibin' at 211 for 3 before the weather crashed the party.
