Way things are going, the Ashes should be played in South Africa, we might see some less predictable series then! Only thing that keeps Australia in it in in England is us being hospitable enough to roll out flat ones at Lord's and the Oval every series.
Probably time for Bayliss to be ushered off and someone who knows county cricket brought in. Given he's not a technical caoch I don't really see what he brings. Wasn't a fan of making Root captain but as he is he should get a he chance to rebuild the team his way, pick someone young and gusty as vice (Stokes would have been ideal!) and give Root a good hearing in selection meetings.
Stokes as vice prior to this tour was prob the ideal for root and they are good friends.
I don’t think root should be captain full stop but it certainly looks like without Stokes senior players are not rallying round the captain. In any team you need to support the captain
Bayliss Morgan and farbrace have transformed our one day cricket but quite right test cricket we have become average.
If I were root, and Stokes is cleared, would he be able to resume vice captain duties, and would Root push for it?
Not sure but Stokes is pivotal to our side...
The old guard on the team don’t seem to be influencing things
Vince and Stoneman...could they become key figures? I’m not sure what to make of Vince, he has done pretty well at 3, Root knows he can bat there too.
