When do we play in anything next? Hopefully he`ll have got over it by the time we do - players like him and Joe are the future for us if we have any hope of being competitive in any form of the game. County season starts this week. Time to get heads down and just play some 4 day stuff. I guess they all might have 2 weeks off first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To replace him, I'd look no further than Stokes. He's a real leader, and it would probably help him move on from that diabolical over. If anyone it'll be root with a view to naturally taking over from Cook in test game in due course. morgans been very good captain in field, just shit out of form with the bat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all controversial, for me that's been apparent for some time. As for Stokes being a natural leader that final over seemed to encapsulate the saying ''all brawn and no brain.'' If Stokes was bowling to his captain's instructions I take it all back. What on earth can that lengthy discussion with Morgan before the start of the over have been about? 'What's the best way to go about losing from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is Root by the sounds of things, in like his second season at Yorkshire apparently he was one of the top guys in terms of a guy to go to for things. Big presence for a young guy.

Couple of bad balls yes but the batman still gotta hit them and 4 sixes on the trot was incredible hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hindsight is easy. Could argue Root could have bowled another and then Willey and Jordan would have closed out. Stokes bowled superbly against NZ at the death. I think the first six mentally did him. 99 out of 100 England win that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Just have to remember that if it hadn`t been for him and one or two others we`d probably not have even been in the final anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 In reality England had done enough up until the final over of the windies innings, as Tomarse said, 99/100 England would have won from that position, its just that execution under pressure.
