Root is dropping them now too. Get him outta there

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I'd like to hear a sensible suggestion as a new captain.

If Root goes it’s likely to be the current vice captain, Stokes.

 

[Kingellesar]

What was that........

 

[rightwayup]

Root has completely gone....sad to see but might not be the worst idea to give him some time away from the team.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Is there any start to Joe Root’s talents?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Root. I don’t like his captaincy but it’s getting cruel for him now. He should go for his own good, we shafted ourselves out of a bloody good player when we gave him the gig.

 

[SteveH]

Get this pathetic **** out of the team.

the really funny thing is that Root is the best test batsmen we currently have!
but being test captain of second rate test players is a thankless task and has scrambled his brain!
He is not the first to suffer this but he may be the last of the dying breed!

I think Root is painfully overrated tbh. He seems to surround the England team with his mates and everything just appears too comfortable. To be honest, this series is making me SERIOUSLY miss Cook, Trott and Bell. Proper test match batsmen.

Stokes takes Head and should’ve also taken Labuschagne.

Shame because those two being out early would’ve severely reduced the number of runs we’re going to lose by...

Better spell from Stokes today than yesterday, good yorker.

Cook has gone there is no point looking back imo
Root is now by far the best batman we have.
The policy of picking limited over batsmen like Roy and Buttler is a hugh mistake!

What an indictment of your teammates performance that you’ve got to get the fans their inflatable watermelon back to keep them happy

Goes to show the type of fans who actually go to these matches. Morning and afternoon drunks who have no intention of watching the cricket.

The players should’ve been booed off and given all sorts of shit from the fans. The players know they’re under absolutely no pressure to perform.

Joel Wilson is a fucking joke. Just giving everything not out now and is playing it safe.

 

[Monkeyman]

It's a close call for this series as to what has been worse, England's batting or the umpiring.

these bloody umpires are a joke
