Crawley hails "champion bloke" Root after maiden Test ton in Aus

Root, who had gone 15 Tests and 29 innings without a Test century in Australia, finally got the monkey off his back and registered a century that could do wonders to his Test legacy as the years roll on. Already the second-highest run-getter of all time chasing Indian icon Sachin Tendulkar's mark of 15,921 runs, Root finally secured the missing piece of the puzzle. Having scored effortlessly at home and elsewhere, Root has finally conquered his "final frontier" as a batter with this Test century, which happens to be his 40th in the format.
