If Root keeps going the way he has over the last 4 yrs then dont think smith would want to retire anytime soon.Smith will try his best not to relinquish his no 1 spot.

As per @ajarrodkimber, some of the best players against high pace bowling are Viv Richards,AB de Villiers,Ricky Ponting and Virat Kohli (no specific order mentioned).

Watching a batter face cummins starc at optus is more blood pumping than anything ashwin jadeja serve at chepauk

Consistently performing against great pacers in Test is the ultimate measure of batting.Many batters have consistently dominated great spinners...far far fewer have done the same against great pacers.
Playing spin is the most overrated aspects of batsmanship.

Both are poor hookers pullers of ball.
Both are average stroke makers.
Neither has truly excelled in wb,unsurprising given their limitations.
Yet both average over 50 in test cricket.
Both possess tremendous grit.
Test cricket is grit resilience rewarding format over talent.

All 4 rated Abd villiers as the toughest batter they ever bowled to in TEST MATCHES.Its a shame that during his prime yrs there werent any strong pace attacks for him to face except australia
