He said it himself he will be assessed by the ECB so he knows he could be sacked but he backs every decision he and the group made!

Mistakes ? Blood hell
When you keep making them after 3 test and 6 innings and lose the Ashes in 11 days, I will say watch the door doesn't hit you on the way out.

We want you to pay for the consequences and mistakes, not with words but with actions, but do the right thing and step down

I think Stokes is actually the right man, but he will resign citing family time for his decision.
The reason they made Harry Brook vice-capt was so he could take over because they don't see Pope as shoe-in for the team, never mind the captaincy!
But Key is a problem and so are the ECB.

When Darren Lehman says he's never spoken to a selector that's a joke.
Coach of a county side, and one with international experience, and he's never had a conversation with a selector?
No wonder we fail.

Stokes Root Pope Wood Archer have to stand down and walk away,
 
Just turned on the DP T20 tournament. Don't normally see it as I'm in work, but I'm on holiday now. Christ, there's nearly as many on the pitch and in the dugouts as there are in the stands. That has to be running at a loss, shirley? Yes; I know they're not short of a bob or three over, but it looks poor.
 
Archer injured not playing anymore test match’s well at least he turned up for the three and really we need him for our next series so get him fit for them!

Who’s going to be the bowlers? Tongue Carson Bashir?
 
Haven't won a test in 12 years down under. This doesn't need overthinking, but perhaps go and play red ball cricket for 6 weeks before the biggest test series in the world starts.

It's simple, isnt it

From what I can make out, the Aussie cricket board refuse to let their teams play against us ?
Ok then, why not play an international 3 test series in Australia against Pakistan or the West Indies even New Zealand or all 3 for charity? The ACB and ICC would have to allow it because it would make money for a good charity and make sense for england to get some practice and acclimatise to the conditions

When you listen to a lot of the old boys, they are rarely wrong

This Ashes tour has hit home more than any other Ashes in the past 15 years, Many fans have said they have had enough and will not do it again ? Even plenty of the barmy army lads have spoken about not doing it again.

You knew after the first over in the 1st test that it was the same old shit again. Then the collapse in both innings after a little bit of fight from the bowling team. It was over in 2 days and the wheels fell off big time. questions started to rumble about the lack of practice and acclimatise, When Stokes refused to send the team to face Australia A in a pink ball game, for me, everybody, including fans and media pundits, lost the love and its game over for Stokes and Bazball
