They're not going to back down from Stoneman as the next captain, even though he can't currently justify his place in white ball cricket. Unless you gave it to Muchall as a short term measure, he'll captain for the rest of the season. It's next year if/when Colly retires that concerns me.
 
I know Rocky needs time to develop as a captain but there must be big questions from here. Wonder of they'll consider an overseas captain if Colly retires in the summer.

Fuck me.... Scariest thing is Stoneman will be captain across all formats next season. Horrific thought!
 
yet another tight game lost. when's rocky going to win us one? and when will we stop bowling russhworth at the end?
 
I genuinely hope so.

We are in a similar position to England in terms of possible captains.
A short term pick would actually be Muchall, although I'm not convinced he justifies his place in the Championship. I've seen Jennings mentioned as an option down the line but obviously too early for him.
 
I saw DCCC live in limited overs cricket half a dozen times last season. I called it then that Stonemans captaincy wasnt up to it.

Crap team selections, bowling changes all wrong, no flexibility in the batting order. Bowlers going for 3 an over only trusted with a few overs when others going for 7/8 bowled out etc.

But because we went on a winning streak in the county championship & because Stoneman was doing well with the bat across all formats I was shouted down on here.

Im telling you, as much I have high hopes for him as a batsman - as a captain I wouldnt trust him, he isn't up to it.

Team selection won't be his call but I agree on the rest of it.
 
Can't blame us for giving Rocky a chance, but there's no doubt his time is up. Colly's leadership will be a major miss next year
 
Another hugely disappointing loss, we're simply not scoring enough runs. Once again we were on the back foot right from the beginning of our innings. A 50-60 run opening partnership in the power play overs would set the innings up for the middle order to push on and get big totals, but instead we've been put on the back foot right from the beginning. Rocky's job as captain would become a lot easier if he was back to scoring big runs at the top of the innings, but unfortunately I can't see that happening soon, he looks a walking wicket right from the off.
