The former Australia skipper added that England's bowling attack was at its best when Root left the field and the captaincy was passed over to Ben Stokes.
Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has questioned Joe Root's comments about England's bowlers during the Ashes and said as captain of the touring side the onus is on him to make changes when needed.
“Joe Root can come back and say whatever he likes, but if you're captain, you've got to be able to sense when your bowlers aren't bowling where you want them to. That's what captaincy is all about.”
