Thing is though, he is absolutely right. You don't win anything with robots. All our best players have been mavericks, people unafraid to speak their mind. Dobell could be talking about anyone from Boycott to Botham to Willis or Gower or Flintoff. None of our best players have ever been yes men because it's not in the makeup of great players.

Aggers is a great commentator, but he is a tit and completely wrong on so many things. He still doesn't trust DRS ffs! He's a complete idiot.Comment

I think Root and Stokes are the two potential great players. All the youngsters in the side have shown glimpses of immense talent, but only those two seem to have a real no nonsense, aggressive, winning mentality.Comment

Unfortunately India are going to bat for the rest of today and most of tomorrow. Our bowlers will be ruined.Comment

If that's the case, then surely we will just offer up Root, Bell, Ballance, Robson and Ali for a bowl. No chance of a result, so no point in driving our lads into the ground. Apparently Cook is the worst bowler in the side. Runs like a discombobulated clown.*Except Michael, who died.Comment

Not sure Moores or Cook think like that.Comment

Guess this is the 'exciting cricket' that they promised.
On a positive note, we have a real player on our hands with Root eh. He can lead our batting line up for the next 10 years easily. Fantastic player. Most acknowledge him as being our next long term captain.*Except Michael, who died.Comment

They do and yet he's only captained Yorkshire once and was, by all accounts, hopeless.Originally posted by Alex View PostComment

Bit weird then. He acts like a leader when he's out batting and is always pretty straight forward in interviews. People must see something.
I'd prefer if he was left alone at the moment and allowed to get on with his batting.*Except Michael, who died.Comment

Root should be nowhere near the captaincy at the moment, not for a good few years of being in and around the test arena and hopefully with a different coach and captain than the two muppets we've got currently.
As unlikely it is to happen and Cook actually falls on his sword (or the ECB pushing him) I'd like to see Bell given a goComment
