During the first Ashes Test match at Gabba, Joe Root surpassed Michael Vaughan's tally of 1581 runs to become the highest run-getter for England in a calendar year! Root scored 62 runs in the first innings at Adelaide to take his tally to 1606 runs in this calendar year!
Pakistan's Mohammad Yousuf (1788 runs in 2006), West Indies' Viv Richards (1710 in 1976), and South Africa's Graeme Smith (1656 in 2008) have more Test runs than Root at the moment in a single calendar year.
With 3 more innings to go in this calendar year for Root, he is now within touching distance of taking the record for his own! However, the task is not going to be easy as he is currently touring in Australia!
