Not so sure about Stokes as a captain. Does he have the tactical skills as well as the ability to get the best out of others? Dont see many real options. Bairstow? Like others, I think a lot depends on who gets Baylis' job.
Yep, a 27 run opening stand. Best in the series so far!!! Wow. They're on fire today then. Says it all.Denly out early again. Never looked comfortable. FFS
There isn't a replacement in the current set up Geoff, that's the problem with removing Root. I'm lucky enough to work in and around the game, meeting some really interesting people from time to time, and the general consensus is that Stokes is the best leader in the dressing room, but not a captain.Not so sure about Stokes as a captain.
