He can drum, so he's used to handling sticks made of wood which is about as much qualification as our batsmen have from what I can see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Heard James Vince being touted as England captain… good captain but we surely can’t have the skipper nicking off for a glorious 13 every innings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s out of the side, can’t see him coming back in either. Think he’ll take over white ball captaincy from Morgan after this year’s t20 World Cup.

blandy Posted April 15, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 15, 2022 Right decision Joe. Not just for the team, but for himself. He’s an admirable person and a brilliant batsman and he did his best as captain in difficult circumstances, with all the covid bubbles and relentless schedules. But he was also getting quite a lot wrong. Not sure who will be the next to get the role. Stuart Broad as a long shot? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 15, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 15, 2022 A surprise and not a surprise I guess - as above, it's the right thing both for the team and for Joe Root. England may have just made an improvement to our batting. I can't see anyone who leaps out as the obvious candidate, it's already a pretty unsettled side - it's going to be a tough job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Had to happen, he’s not a good captain despite being easily England’s best batsman. I think he’s had some shit cards dealt him though with the resources he’s had available to him at various times throughout his captaincy. Talk of Stokes being the obvious choice - I don’t get how you can rely on someone who recently had to take a year out of the game to be your leader and talisman, no thanks. So if not Stokes, who? There are no real options, what a shitshow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if not Stokes, who? There are no real options, what a shitshow. Agreed. There’s not many players nailed on to be in the XI. There’s no clear spinner, the pace bowlers are pretty interchangeable and often injury hit. Batsmen are all struggling or inconsistent and the allrounders and keeper have a lot to do already. Broad, Foakes, Stokes are probably the 3 most likely, but like you say Ben Stokes needs looking after, not having even more piled on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Yes definitely the right thing to do. They like to have a captain with the long term in mind but I think they will just have to pick one just to get through the summer and go from there. Probably either Stokes or Broad.
