ROOT, no hesitation.
Aussie batting is so fragile these days that it is hard say anybody bowled exceptionally well against them. The likes of Paul Harris and Herbie Singh would have run through them too. There is no hope for Australia if Clarke doesn't post a century plus.
Root was always going to get it, 180 at Lords
To be honest I agree with root being man of the match now. The point of this article is when have seen both a centurion and somebody who has a nine wicket haul to both to miss out on the man of the match award
It simply has to be Joe Root. I mean, seriously, I could take wickets against this Aussie team. It's runs that will win us this series, not wickets.
Personally i thought Bell should have got MOTM.
Saves it in the 1st Innings when the tp order flopped.
Root batted with basically no pressure. We where basically 260 for 0 when he started batting.
What exactly did he "save"? Even without Bell's runs we would have still had a first innings lead of over 100 runs!
Joe Root . I admit am wrong he does look ready to be an opener in test cricket. Lets hope he can cash in next 3 tests at home.Make Australia sick of the sight of him

Without bells 100 in the 1st innings we would most likely have scored around 200-250.
