Alastair Cook need not be jealous – as if he had such an indecent bone in his body! Joe Root has led England to a fine Test series victory in Sri Lanka, without reaching the heights which they scaled under Cook in India in late 2012, which was a once-in-a-generation triumph. Since the retirement of the great triumvirate of Muttiah Muralitharan, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, other Asian sides have won in Sri Lanka: India made a complete 3-0 sweep here, and even Bangladesh won a rare Test victory abroad. What is special about Root’s team is that they have won here in contrast to Australia and South Africa who were both demolished.
