Ashes 2019: The three worst performers from the series

#2 Jason Roy

Jason Roy

England took a big gamble when they decided to open with Roy in such a high-profile series. Understandably, red-ball cricket at this level proved a step too far as he had only played as a middle order batsman for his county team, Surrey.

In the first three games of the series, he registered scores of 10, 28, 0, 2, 9, 8 and received a lot of criticism for his shot selection.

As evident by his white-ball record, he is a naturally aggressive opener and he failed to curb his instincts, which made it easy for the Aussie new ball bowlers.

He was pushed to the #4 position in the fourth Test but could not meet the expectations. He was eventually dropped for the final Test and Dominic Sibley could be favoured over him for the winter tours.

However, he still has a lot of time left in his career and he would be itching to make a comeback by scoring loads of runs in county cricket.
