Being miserable is a side effect of being an FOC.

Or being an England cricket supporter

We all know who the real captain is.

Well watching stokes captain this test match nothing is new might as well be Root as captain still.

 

[Claytop]

I’ll watch when we need single digits with 5 wickets remaining, feel that’s a safe bet…

How many overs left tonight? Because coming back tomorrow to get 50/60 be tough.

Joe Root vs NZ tomorrow.

Hes used to playing teams in his own these days though.

 

[ancoats]

This is root's place in the England team and just let him play
being captain was too much for him, it was given to him far too early in his career to please the media

 

[ancoats]

The only thing tomorrow is the new ball is available in 15 overs, so England need to knock off the runs or a big chunk of them before wickets tumble

 

[waspish]

Still make New Zealand favourite because we know Root gets out with still 30/40 needed the collapse could happen.

Yeah, his batting record is utterly shit. Captaincy really took its toll on him.

He bats in exactly the same way, whatever the situation.
