Joe Root has remarkable batting stats since he came out with a full beard
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that England cricket captain Joe Root’s 180 not out at Lords in the Second Test against India is but the latest in a series of impressive scores since he came out with a full beard.
Root has attempted facial hair off and on in recent years but in 2021 his beard has finally flourished and it has clearly had a positive impact on his batting.
His century at Lords was the fifth in 2021 the highest number for an England captain in a calendar year.
The campaigners say that Root’s beard has given him an advantage over bowlers allowing the follicles to ride air currents created as the ball is bowled and allowing him to score more easily.
