Maybe a result of the dwindling numbers in England’s coaching staff, but Joe Root seems to have taken on some coaching duties at the SCG, even dishing out some throwdowns, three days out from the fourth #Ashes Test pic.twitter.com/CXgP4gGVG8

Root’s full focus on batting
Seeing this style during the practice session of the England team, one thing is clear that their focus is only on batting. The team’s batting has been seen revolving around Root in the Ashes series. Now the situation changes in the new year, Captain Root would definitely like it. And in this effort, he is seen engaged in this video as well.
England’s latest position in the Ashes series is not hidden from anyone. In the series of 5 Test matches, the team is behind 0-3, ie Australia has lost the battle of ashes. Now he has to play, just for the sake of respect, which can only be achieved by winning the next two Tests.
Sydney statistics
England has played 51 Ashes matches at the Sydney Cricket Ground, winning 22 and losing 23. The same 6 Tests have been drawn. That is, there is not much difference between victory and defeat at SCG. The England team can start the new year with a win. The fourth Test between England and Australia is to be played in Sydney from January 5.
