(Reuters) -Joe Root has failed to score a century in 27 test innings in Australia but the Englishman believes he is ready to end that streak when the Ashes begin in Perth next month.
The former England captain has chalked up nine test half-centuries in Australia, with a highest score of 89 in a nine-wicket loss in Brisbane in December 2021.
