Leach

Would probably give the captaincy to someone else but no idea who.

Wondering if Root will consider his position if a) we lose the Ashes and b) before the winter tour. I am not sure he's the most dynamic captain and seems content to let games meander especially if the opposition are scoring well. Trouble is who gets the role? Not sure it'll help the likes of Bairstow and Stokes to have the additional burden
 
Can’t see many changes tbh

But I would go

Burns
Sibley
Root
Denly
Stokes
Bairstow (wk)
Archer
Broad
Leach
Anderson

But I think the only change will be Anderson for Woakes

Can't see much wrong with that other than Denly has struggled with the short ball and not sure he's really an opener. Surely the time has come to drop Roy (for now) but wouldn't surprise me if they named an unchanged side even with that 67

Bairstow as captain lol. Ive heard it all now. We looking for our own version of Tim Paine haha
 
As i posted before the Stokes heroics, Anderson for Woakes and shuffle a few of the square pegs. Pointless what I would do because its so far from Ed smiths sunglass tinted view :)

Broad was possibly the right answer when Root got the job, theres an argument for him to do it for 12-18 mths, especially if Root is having a rest this winter

For me the interesting thing now is what happens when Bayliss gets replaced. Perfect time to split the coaching/selection roles as well as the captaincy, we might start to pick the right sides in all formats then

Bairstow 😂

It’s time he concentrated on his batting , gives Buttler the gloves or give Foakes them back and Stokes is the natural leader if not then it’s Broad.

Do you really think we've got that sort of joined up thinking within the powers that be?

Stokes may well be the natural leader, but he has a very very big black mark which im pretty sure stops him doing the job for a little while longer yet

ps plse dont give buttler the gloves (albeit it may be one of the square peg reshuffles! thats if they can get them off johnny lol)

I dont think they are going to go back to Foakes until the winter , I see one of Buttler or Bairstow getting the winter test - and I would prefer Buttler behind the stumps.

I don’t see Root losing the captaincy for a while anyway yet but Stokes imo will be the next one

i dont think theyre going back to Foakes or taking the captaincy away from Root. Imo they should do both but they wont, as i said before all the odi wc players shouldnt be playing test cricket this winter and they should be using it as a development phase, but again they wont theyll keep flogging them on the treadmill and keep most of the square pegs in their round holes

South Africa are going through their own transition so it'll be ideal to try and develop players use to playing the longer form of cricket we could still be competitive in the test series. However rankings and a lack of forward planning and desire for change means for the most part the touring party will contain players that urgently need a break from cricket (in all formats) and very few new faces. And so the cycle continues
