The all things cricket thread and no doubt other stuff.

That was a great day of cricket and the look on Sirajs face with that stumping was gold, i will admit India are right up there with one of the best teams!! At one point they made England look silly in the second test. The biggest eye opener is the Ashes are fast approaching and England are looking weak in fielding and bowling!!🤷‍♂️ I rate Woaks and i never rated Jofra Archer, over rated imo, Bashir is handy to have and Stokes can be dangerous but the thing i have seen over and over again is when a great players like Stokes take up captaincy there performance in the game falls off a cliff!!🤷‍♂️

Agreed. Look how Joe Roots batting has picked up again now he's not got the pressure of being captain.

Root can be a dangerous bowler, he adds to the mix and yes his batting has got a lot better without that pressure. It sounds silly but a lower order player needs to be captian, not being disrespectful in anyway but sometimes less is more!!🤷‍♂️

I rate Stokes as a captain but as you said I think it's adversely affected his batting.
