And he has got his dander up big time a very early six.

It's been one of the strangest cricket days I've ever seen. Surreal to watch Stokes retire and then take a wicket. Now opening the batting. And I was finding the match was drifting away!
West indies playing Sri Lanka were not doing well, a stand of 400+ for the sixth wicket all time Test record best stand for sixth wicket. Earlier today.

Have these players forgot it's a test match not some pointless T20. Show a little respect for the game and the fans. As for making the egotistcal, self centred Brooke captain god helps us

Almost certain defeat for England and a series loss to New Zealand.
This follows on from the abysmal showing in the 'Ashes'.
Total and utter hogwash.

Back to my original post. We've all had enough of this now. It was alright as an antidote to the constant losing before but it's run it's course now. Can Key and McCullum please do the decent thing? This is over: new direction required.

Can we also put an end to the Bashir nonsense too. Want a spinner? Pick the best spinner available.

That's why no one likes the Aussies plus they have a long history if cheating, Warner and Smith come to mind.

Yes, they'd be better off to follow the fine fair play examples of India and Pakistan.

Does a good captain do anything for the team to win at any time, or make it all about himself?
You announce retirement at the end of the series.
Something has clearly happened.

I don't think even Root could rescue this one.
Hope he will make a score to make me feel marginally less depressed.
That was awful.

The last really good captain was Eoin Morgan, mainly limited overs, but he used his brain.

Stokes was accused of a fracas and immediately suspended, he was innocent ,no wonder he is p*ssed off.

In fairness, he had clearly broken the drinking curfew. And was supposed to be the Captain. Winning one match is not a good reason to go on the piss. Winning the series, I'd understand.
