A wet fish would be a better captain than Root. He is woeful and has been since he got the job.In all seriousness, who have you got to replace him? Cook survived a 5-0.
Yeah that's the problem. The only other Top 6 player that is secure is Stokes and him as captain would be a terrible image. Woakes isn't secure and Broad would be a disaster waiting to happen in the DRS era.In all seriousness, who have you got to replace him? Cook survived a 5-0.
yep, warner and harrisBig partnership coming after lunch I can feel it
I don't think he's been worse than Paine. It's like this series has been a battle of bad captaincy.A wet fish would be a better captain than Root. He is woeful and has been since he got the job.
Yeah, Warner and Harris probably.Big partnership coming after lunch I can feel it
Both need replacing though. When you think we used to criticise Strauss and Cook, they were like Brearley in comparison to Root and Paine.I don't think he's been worse than Paine. It's like this series has been a battle of bad captaincy.

Was about to say "great minds" but then realised one of you was flibbertyYeah, Warner and Harris probably.
A mate of mine who isn't a Surrey supporter reckons that Burns will be captaining the side next summer. Quite why anyone would dump this on Rory is beyond me, but he may have a point. At least Burns has some captaincy experience, and not being captain may make a difference to Root's batting.Sooner we lose and sack Root the better.
Harsh coming from a dullard like you.Was about to say "great minds" but then realised one of you was flibberty
Strauss was fine wasn't he? I'll give you Cook though.Both need replacing though. When you think we used to criticise Strauss and Cook, they were like Brearley in comparison to Root and Paine.
For all the criticism of Strauss, he'd be close to the best captain worldwide if he was playing today. At the very least he struck me as an excellent leader and while he was conservative tactically he didn't come across as inept. Kind of like Misbah for example who I'd consider a good captain.Both need replacing though.
