JOE ROOT gave away his wicket against the Netherlands at the Cricket World Cup in farcical manner.<\/p>\n
The England star was bowled by Logan van Beek after getting in an almighty tangle while failing to pull off a switch hit.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Root, 32, has been far from his best at the tournament – with England already eliminated in the group stage.<\/p>\n
Against their European neighbours, England started well – but Root was out for just 28 runs from 35 balls.<\/p>\n
He threw away his wicket trying to pull off a shot which saw the ball miss the bat, fly through his legs and clatter into the stumps.<\/p>\n
And fans are convinced that Root would actually be counting his blessings.<\/p>\n
