Garbage cricket and garage captaincy from Root this morning. Gifting NZ runs

They were like this at times last summer when Stokes missed the last test against India. They still should have won that, but he is a massive miss.

It's a good pitch and without swing will be hard to take wickets on. I thought the score last night flattered us.
Archer over bowled by Root. You don't bowl eight overs on the trot if you're a quickie. Root had Archer once bowl 40overs in an innings and it took him a year and more to get over the injuries.

Agree to an extent.....I do think Archer is very fragile though. We've made hard work of it this morning.....starting off with bouncers?.....and,the last time I looked,I don't think he'd had a bowl yet today?

Nothing to do with Stokes today.... it's the strategy that's wrong.....and poor catching.

Yep. But it was the strategy when he was missing last summer too.

But his captaincy was poor in the winter, the first time since he took the job. I think four plus years is long enough in that job and he'll be done now.
