stokes
Again again again
The England cricket team caught up in a drinking incident. This time captain ben stokes and bowler Gus Atkinson. To be fair this could possibly be the worst timing ever to be in a drinking scandal after what came out in the New Zealand and Australia tour.
Both not playing on Thursday which is the correct decision and if I’m honest I think the writing is on the wall or Ben stoke’s captaincy and actually I think it would be the kindest thing management could do, he has demons to deal with, go work on fitness and your game with Durham and come back and be a match winning all rounder for the team.
Joe root steps in as captain adorns the cape again, wise decision because giving it to Harry brook would look silly. But who do you actually give it too long term if not stokes, I actually think Jamie smith is a big shout but no obvious candidates so I think big performances and showing your character in this series will go a long way.
Two big misses for the second test and an Injury to Ollie Robinson brings some excitement and a look at some new players. Matt Fisher and Sonny Baker get a chance to shine and Jordan Cox finally gets a game in an England shirt.
The future is bright but does there need to be more change in the back room staff?
