Plenty of good strong captaincy talk coming from Stokes now. Baz, Ben and Rob backing themselves to stay in post.
Will they play Bash to prove they were right? If he bowls Oz out, won't we wonder why he wasn't picked for Adelaide? Bit of a "no win" situation, although I think ECB will hope to take the easy line and keep them on if England win in Sydney.
As I see it, Baz has been a disaster in white ball. If he screws up the upcoming T20s and ODIs he's toast, and good riddance to a man I see as a complete fraud. Stokes is surely broken physically and can't keep this up for long. So the great Bazball revolution will soon be over.
