No you haven’t. Anybody isn’t an answer.i have answered the question ? anybody
how worst can somebody else be has captain ? i could pick 20 players as captains and maybe he would be shit at it
you never know until you have a go
OK different question. How would this mystery captain have made a difference in the last 6 weeks.
Would he have turned Leach into a mystery spinner? Would he have got extra 5mph out of our seam attack? Would he have inspired the batters so much that 350+ scores became a matter of course?
I very much doubt a prime Mike Brearley could manage that.

Snap.I said 4-0 at the start, wish i'd put money on it
Said it before.Silverwood and Root need replacing.Hussain should be the coach /manager.As for no one else to pick from well we cant go on picking Burns,Hameed,Pope etc because there is no one else.that is the problem ? no short or long term plans and not willing to upset the apple cart by the ECB
i feel the pain and take little pride in calling out root because he is a great cricketer and is respected
but the captain role is bigger than him sorry ? you have to be hated in the team and not mates with the rest
a iron fist and take no bullshit strong enough to get in the faces and say it like it is.
the players don't fear root or their place in the test squad and that is a problem ? the ECB pick 20 players or so on central contracts and the door is close.
100 batting innings in 5 test the question has been asked by root and the coaches and we not been able to deliver
but the worst is the fear.. its simple our batting line up shitting themselves in the dressing room waiting to come out
right enough words have been spoken by me and am out of this thread until the next series
Nobody is arguing that Root is a good captain, not me anyway, and both he and Silverwood are responsible for the flawed selection process for sure.Root has a say in who starts test matches! Not playing Broad in the first test tells me Root isn’t a good captain! Broad has had the wood on Warner and so it has proved again this series. Even as a captain being persuaded to not play Broad or even picking a spinner who is average ar best plus with him not even played a test match for months is why for me Root is not captain Materiel.
If the players didn't fear Root and were guaranteed their place come what may, surely we'd have a solid consistent top order from which a suitably experienced candidate for the job would emerge? The door is not closed if anything it's constantly revolving.that is the problem ? no short or long term plans and not willing to upset the apple cart by the ECB

Well if your not then your argument lacks any credence when you start saying stupid things like root doesn’t deserve his place in the team on the back of this series.sadly am not
its not just me its all the media and BT sports asking the same questions

Doesn't answer either question. Who is the realistic alternative and do you seriously think a different captain would have made that much difference in this series?
