Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 25, 2021 Author Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2021 Also, let's not forget the Mooen situation on this tour, Publicly blaming him for going home when it was previously agreed he was anyway just after playing a blinder. He wrote once in the Guardian a few years back that he's never felt like he fit, and Root on telly going on about it being his decision when it wasn't and him and Silverwood had to apologise in the press when he finally looked a test cricketer again.  I still say it, and always will. Root is not a captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted February 25, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2021 I agree Root is not a captain. I'm not sure who is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 25, 2021 Author Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2021 Fair point, well made. There's not much material there, is there? Especially with the Ed Smith rotational system. When Root eventually steps down, they'll just give it to Stokes and ruin his averages.

The Curious Orange Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Buttler becoming captain with Foakes as wicket keeper is probably the other option besides Stokes after Root goes. I'd like to see them pick Amar Virdi next game if he's still with the squad. He's won a couple of matches for Surrey which puts his record above most current English spinners already. Proper number 11 though which is probably why he's not been in the full touring squads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted May 2, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 2, 2021 I have just found (Thanks to Fighting Talk) that the whole of the 1984 tv mini series Bodyline is on YouTube. I remember watching it as a 12 year old, I'm just hoping it is as good as I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members The Ratt Posted May 3, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 3, 2021 Speaking off YouTube, I'm really enjoying the fact that all the counties are streaming their 4 day games. Watched most of the final 2 days of Lancs v Sussex (Jack Carson looks a great prospect for Sussex), then being able to just flick over to watch the end of that Yorkshire v Northants match which went down to the wire was great (apart from the result 😄) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
