Root steps down

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Hearing Burns is lined up to succeed

 

[Brett]

Interesting times as can’t see a ready made replacement

 

[The Rat]

Says it’s right time

Bast last year to 18 months

But had some good moments and won a lot of matches and series

Despite the hyperbole on here

But gutted as he’s a lovely bloke and class act

Obviously had his faults as captain but was badly let down by useless team mates, management and board for most of his tenure

 

[Jack Torrance]

Got to be Stokes as next captain then

 

[Hyltons finest]

Jumped before pushed?

 

[Super Ted]

They’ll give it to Stokes but that won’t be the right decision either IMO.

 

[hudson88]

When only Root, Stokes and probably Bairstow are guaranteed a place - not exactly spoilt for choice

Fair

I think he did pretty remarkable to get some of the wins he did considering that nobody else averaged over 40 and maybe only stokes over 35

Right call though

Too early to say

We have no captain, coach, director of cricket, chairman

And an outgoing chief executive

Remarkable situation really
People forget us stuffing India 4-1 n those type of things, winning away in South Africa, 6 away tests wins in Asia in a row

Strange situation as he gets a lot of stick online but at the actual ground people chant his name all day long

Legend

Only viable captains are Stokes or Buttler, but neither of them need the burden of captaincy tbh

Just thought a fourth thread on this was necessary

Our schedule the last couple of years hasn’t helped either like

 

[Inside Forward]

You could tell in the West Indies that it had really knocked the stuffing out of him.

He still has a hell of a lot to offer with the bat.

There is no they yet mate

There’s nobody employed at ecb

We have no idea yet

Sympthy bump

Broad is a viable captain for the short term. And I think he’d be very good.

All paving the way for a glorious return of Sir Alistair Cook.
