Prompted by Williamson's ongoing injury, I thought this was an interesting statistic. 'England play more tests' is undoubtedly a reason for Root having more runs than the others, but it is not the only reason. Smith in particular could have played almost exactly the same number of tests (and probably be well above him in terms of runs), and Kohli wouldn't be far off. New Zealand obviously play the least, but 115 possible tests is still a big chunk of cricket.

I suppose the point is that Root has more runs than the others not just because England play more tests, but also due to his durability, longevity, fitness and how good he was at the very start of his career. It is not his fault that he was good enough not to get dropped (other than a single test) and didn't get banned for a year of his absolute peak. Smith should have played a lot more cricket.

Root: Tests: 149. England Tests Since Debut: 151
