Joe Root’s latest Bazball shot is the stupidest in English Test cricket
history

Every run India score in their second innings will be a torment to Root,
because he knows that he should still be batting

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2024/02/17/joe-root-bazball-shot-england-india-third-test-bumrah/

It has to rank - and "rank" is the operative word - as the worst, most
stupid, shot in the history of England's Test cricket. ...

There is some very stiff competition for that title, but it's certainly
well up there.

Dunno, the number of people out lbw sweeping and missing balls on the
stumps surely has to be challenging it for dumbest shot of the match,
never mind history

Sweeping and missing balls on stumps and getting out LBW can be
attributed to incompetency or lack of skill rather than worst or stupid
shots I guess.

It's OK to sweep (or reverse sweep) balls on the stumps in the first
innings, when the bounce is still pretty predictable, not such a good
idea in the second innings.

Sure, so long as you have been in long enough to know what the bounce is actually doing. Reverse Sweeping your 3rd delivery is batting suicide. (I'm not accusing anyone of doing this).
