Ben Stokes named England Captain

What a win for England. Think if they keep this up Stokes is going to quickly become our greatest ever captain.

I personally loved the declaration yesterday. Were willing to risk losing to try to win and I’m all for that approach. Ollie Robinson and Jimmy Anderson were outstanding with the ball and got it reversing nicely at the end.

I've always liked the on-field Ben Stokes (although, in fairness, he appears to have matured off-field as well in the last few of years) but despite conceding that he appeared to have agood cricket brain, was not totally convinced he was the correct choice to follow Rootie.

However, I must confess that so far, he has done a superb job and clearly has a great empathy with Brendan McCullum to make England's Test team become a formidable force over the last 12 months--well done Ben--please continuewith the exciting, positive cricket England are now producing.

Flipping heck, we have a proper legspinner (and he can bat a bit too). 

What a series this has turned out to be. Duckett has come in to sort at least half of the opening issue. Wood back to his best. Robinson looking good again. Jimmy ageless. And then there's Harry Brook!
