5 ways Joe Root can make England a better side

#2 Dynamism vs Conventionalism

Root is more in the Vaughan mould, dynamic and instinctive

Alastair Cook was a conventional skipper, who stuck to the tried and tested methods of captaincy. His predecessor, Andrew Strauss was similar as well and helped England climb up the ladder in the ICC Test Rankings.

But Joe Root seems to be more in the Michael Vaughan's mould, dynamic and instinctive. His decision to bring himself on in Mumbai during the Test in the absence of Cook reaped rewards and he should stick to his style of captaincy.

Root has great flair and flamboyance in his batting. His style of leadership seems to be on similar lines and the England batsman would be better off sticking to his methods rather than try to do what Cook or Strauss did.
