not sure I understand James,
Why is hard to watch - I remember watching Greg Chappell struggle through 7 ducks in a row, I watched Rod Marsh who, in his prime, was good enough to play as a batsman in the Aussie team, mentally disintegrate under the barrage of short pitch bowling from the Windies quicks and now Root is really struggling.
Great players all seem to go through bad patches of form and I find it hard to take pleasure out of that.
When a guy's down on batting form & confidence, it flows through to all aspects of their game. As an Aussie, I'm thankful he dropped the catch, but it's also hard to watch a world class player making this type of mistake.

After him claiming that catch that wasn't, good job. Can see the wait of the world on his shoulders.
