England stalwart Joe Root - the man closest in-line to possibly beat Sachin Tendulkar's record of the most Test runs - made a witty remark to brush off his nation's recent loss to Sri Lanka in the final Test of the three-match series.
Taking a reference from the world of music, Root compared the England cricket team to popular rock band Coldplay, stating that "Coldplay can't be No.
1 every week". After winning the first two Tests, England lost the final one by eight wickets. Root, who was awarded England's Player of the Series and the 'Player of the Summer' after the match, quipped on the defeat. "We are not always going to get it right all of the time.
For 90% of the summer we have. We have shown what a good team we can be. I don't think we played our best cricket this week and that is going to happen from time to time.
