Four words that sum up the problem of English Cricket.the white ball teams.
Can’t imagine Stokes would want the pressure and I think it would be wrong to pile it on. Broad can be divisive. Alistair Cook to hold the fort?
Longer term, perhaps we need a specialist captain in the Brearley mould. I’m struggling though ….
Eoin Morgan?
He wasn't a dazzling success during his brief Test career (although he does have centuries against India and Pakistan to his name), but it's not like we have any undroppable run-machines in our top seven apart from Root.
Hmm I'm not so sure about this, fitness and work load is a problem for Stokes, as you say it's hopefully short term.
