Key Highlights

  • One would assume that Hayden wouldn't be happy to see the right-hander go past the three-figure mark, but that's not the case, as he had “more skin” in the game than you would expect.
  • England's Joe Root celebrates his century during the second Ashes cricket test match.
  • (AP) It is worth mentioning that before the century in Brisbane, Root's record in Australia was questionable, with several pundits and fans taking potshots at him for not scoring a century Down Under.
  • Ahead of the Ashes, the entire build-up was about whether the 34-year-old could finally break the jinx.
  • Before the first Test in Perth, former Australia opening batter Hayden had exuded confidence in Root, saying he would walk naked around the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) if the England batter didn't register a ton this time around.
