What was the reason, as didn’t seem terrible there? Would be willing to have him bat but not keep as seems to bat better when not keeping. If that isn’t an option for him then absolutely would take him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root doesn't inspire confidence at all. Not like previous captains... Hussain, Vaughan, Strauss and Cook. He is well out of his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuck Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Credit to Australia, they bowled superbly. I fail to see what difference it makes with Root at 4 instead of 3, given the batting above him. So he comes in in the 4th over instead of the 6th? Root's technique is shot at the moment, he needs to do some serious work on his batting.

wazzap24 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Archer running over and taking that inflatable off the steward and chucking it back to the crowd I know the serious people might not like it, especially given the situation we’re in, but I’m considering cheating on Grealish with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Root is a brilliant player, he's just not captain material. I've played (when younger) with a captain who wasn't the best batsman or bowler, but he directed us well - lifted us when we needed it. Won game through having good vision on what to do. I've also played under brilliant batsmen and bowlers who couldn't cut it as captains, it takes a special personality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
