Really? Root one of the best captains in recent memory. Blaming him for this series is pretty silly. We’re still in with a chance of tying this series, as unlikely as that looks right now. That would be an incredible result away in India on these pitches. One that nobody really thought had a chance of happening before it started.
He has to upset a few then and drop some players. We have two home series this summer to get a new team together for the Ashes.
Poor from England, they had a great chance to have a small first innings lead and Pant has taken the game away from them. Can't see any way back for them now.
Root's captaincy has improved a lot over the years to be fair, bad bowling selections after tea, but nothing near anything that would warrant calling for a new captain. I do think the selectors have got themselves in a state of confusion with the rotations though.
It's always the same, everyone should be sacked and replaced immediately. Is Joe Root trying to kill Stokes here? He's clearly fecked so why is he bowling again?!
Maybe Joe has been reading the BBS and he’s worried about Stokes taking over as captain so he’s taking him out.
Three test matches is literally nothing. You’re being far too reactive. He has a phenomenal record as captain.
