But I don't quite understand the loyalty to Cook who was undoubtedly brilliant in the past yet Seems to have underperformed for eons now apart from one series.Cook is hate for him to be finished now always thought he'd go on to 36/37 and go out on his own terms, if stick with personally.
Root was never ready for the captaincy more a case of who else, the answer was nobody.
Broad for me is the one out the old guard that id be tempted to move on.l, invest in a couple of youngsters to play alongside Jimmy.

I'd like to see more emphasis on the sport phsychology side, as both those captains have the technique, what's going on between the ears that Seems to debilitate them.
Married with families should be the ones who should jump at the chance.One aspect in this form of the game surely must relate to the amount of time away from home.
On tour for months on end.
Fine for single young lads, not so, or maybe not,for married with families.
Yeah sorry Wasn't clear thereWell it did'nt stop Smith getting runs - intensive care required - listened to the lot this morning - kicked the wife on the first ball to Bairstow
No, more likely to be the Swan. Denial is in Egypt.Yeah sorry Wasn't clear there
Meant Cook and Root.
Found Roots post match, assessment of the 3 matches a bit strange.
Almost like he's in denial.
I'll line them upNo, more like to be the Swan. Denial is in Egypt.
Surely its the Murray darling !I'll line them up
You put em away Otis.
HahaSurely its the Murray darling !
It's time we all realised that Australia are just much better than us at cricket.
We are much better than them at football, but in football, they are catching up.
It would be far closer in the uk - I fact I think we’d probably win in the uk - their batting is not great and many struggle in the uk including Smith.
Their batting not great?It would be far closer in the uk - I fact I think we’d probably win in the uk - their batting is not great and many struggle in the uk including Smith.
My quick fix:
Openers Stoneman and Vince, Cook drops to three, Malan four, Root five.
Drop Moeen and Broad.
Bring in Wood and Stokes.
Their batting not great?
Smith got 239 and Marsh 181. Out two top rated batsmen (Cook and Root) got, 7, 20, 14 and 14.
Although I must admit, the quality (or lack of) of the bowling had as much to do with those figures at the quality of the batting.
No Vince?Overton will be out the series, id give Curran and Wood a go with the ball.
Maybe Crane for Ali (makes the batting weak though but it's hardly performing)
I'd give Foakes a go and the gloves.
Maybe- Cook,Stoneman,Root, Malan, Bairstow, Foakes,Woakes,Curran,Wood,Anderson & Crane
Just looks too light on the batting front. Shows how big a loss Stokes is for that balance too the side.
No Vince?
I admit I only saw his 55.
But that was absolute stoic resistence, he was just on the edge of giving them a smacked arse bar the freak ending.
And then it will somehow suddenly become unplayable when we bat on it!A road produced so would expect the Aussie to rack up hundreds, having to watch the fat arsehole warner bat so going to bed
