that writes in a newspaper in New Zealand, that one.

I mean, when you go on a UK tour, an English tour, there must be 20, 30 journalists in and around, so they are always looking for something.

And, yeah, they've found regular things to write about in the last little while, and particularly under this regime, but...

Look, we talk all sorts in the back of the Combox, and for the most part, all of the guys I work with, I think Ben Stokes is a terrific captain.

I think one game suspension was more than enough, and Orr felt he should have come straight back in as captain.

What transpires now is the hard one, because I think between Rob Key and Brendan, they're kind of, what they put out in the media...

almost seemed like they weren't sure that Ben Stokes was going to be back as captain or whether they wanted him back as captain.

I think that's the hard one that they're going to have to come across in this coming week.

So it might sit a bit more in New Zealand's favour.

You know.

I don't know about the way forward.

I kind of, I wonder whether there is a way forward for Brendan and Harry Brook in the white ball game.

I wonder whether there's a way forward for Ben and another coach in the test match game.

No, I don't know.

I don't have any information on whether that's something they might be looking at or something Brendan or Rob Key or whoever might even be considering.

But if there is any way forward, that's kind of maybe the only one I can see.

I know Brendan's relationship with Harry Brook is very good.

We've seen that throughout the World Cup, and they seem to really enjoy each other's styles.

If the Stokes-McCullum thing is fractured, relationship is fractured, then...

Who knows?
