Tooj 17 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 England: Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Stuart Broad interviewed for Test captaincy - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/38929267 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21924 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Broad would waste all the reviews on his on bowling if he was captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Stokes would be an interesting choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35083 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Think it's just a case of gong through the motions because it's already been decided it'll be Root Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Yeah I have no doubt about that. I just think Stokes could provide quite a bit of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35083 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Yeah I have no doubt about that. I just think Stokes could provide quite a bit of humour. Aye I think he might get it in the future as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Didn't he cover it on one of the T20 games in Bangladesh or somewhere? I'm sure he did quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know tbh but he's obviously in the frame down the line to even be getting interviewed at this stage. Will probably be made vice-captain.

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 For the favourite, Root has barely any experience captaining, think it's 3 or 4 games for Yorkshire or something. Still the obvious choice. Hope his captaincy style reflects his batting and his personality. Could be the start of an intriguing new era with Root leading England up against Williamson, kolhi and smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I think what Strauss said about Root's lack of captaincy experience is bang on. England players are going to get hardly any opportunity to captain teams these days as they're always with England. Root has been backing up Cook in test matches for a while now so you have to think they've been preparing him for this moment. I can't see why they're even interviewing the other two unless it's just to have them as vice captains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35083 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Supposedly ever since he broke into the Yorkshire side people shut up and listened when he was talking. Think it was Boycott said that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1245 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I'm surprised he waited so long. Could have been a lot nearer 100 if he'd done it sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1245 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Stokes and Mills both beat Pietersen's record fee for an overseas player at this years IPL draft. Billings, Woakes and Morgan have all got deals but Hales, Bairstow and perhaps most surprisingly Roy all not picked up so far. Seems like bowlers and all rounders are most prized.

Tooj 17 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Roy's been picked up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Has he? He didn't go in the first round. Not seen anything mentioned about Butler. Not sure if he's in for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Looks like Roy and Jordan were picked up in the second round and Butler was retained by Dehli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I've still never got into the IPL like. Might try this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I've watched it the last couple of years. That noise they play every now and then gets on me tits but the cricket has been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
