He says the dressing room supports him being captain. He's dull, tactics and teams wrong and his interviews make you sleepy

I have to say, I love Joe Root, but I've always said I really don't see how he can inspire anyone.

All well and good celebrating, likely to mean a more stressful work load for Stokes. Not what's needed.
He shouldnt be offered the captain job with his mental health

So, Stokes out of the running, who is the next captain? You've been one of the biggest critics of Root's captaincy but there's no obvious replacement.
I would go Broad as interim

As mad as it is, he's 35 and not a guarantre in every test match. Him or Anderson taking over is kicking the can down the road. Madness to let Root give it up at this stage.

You can't make him do the job. If director of cricket is Key, as rumoured, he wants Jos Buttler as captain.

Sensible choince, in the medium term. No improvement on Root, probably worse.

Apparently Eoin Morgan defers to him all the time as he has a brilliant cricketing brain. Trouble is he isn't currently good enough to get picked

That’s the difficulty respect and cricket brain he has but test cricketer probably not.
I am his biggest fan but his game has clearly not taken to test cricket

I will start off by saying I agree that he should still be the skipper
. But you could tell by his body language when Gower hauled him over the coals in the Caribbean he was struggling to come up with answers and looked like he was knackered with it all.

I agree I think the last 6 months has taken it's toll in him but it's left us in a right state.
Bring back Ian Bell.
I'd have Morgan Captain batting 3 or 4

He's not even in the odi team on merit at the moment he's never a test player already failed once
smoker
Striker
I don't think Morgan is fit enough to play first class cricket any more

Can't even get in the one day team, his speciality, on merit. What makes him deserving of captain and first or second drop of the test team where he's already failed?
He's like Ponting and Langer, he takes no crap
