I think, I think fantastic call.

I just think, I just think someone just needs a safe pair of hands that we just know where we're at just for like, do you know what I mean?

Just, I think, because I think Harry Brook then having to answer questions about the drinking culture of a team, having himself just been fined for an incident before a game, just wasn't going to, just wasn't going to play, was it, for anyone?

Yeah.

And he wouldn't be equipped to answer that.

He couldn't answer that because in lots of ways, the reason Ben Stokes is being treated so harshly, always considering retiring, is because Harry Brooke did what he did a few months ago.

And if he hadn't done that, then the curfew wouldn't have been instilled.

So I don't think Brooke can be captain in this instance.

I think obviously eventually he will be, but I think that's very smart just to shield him from those questions because that would have been...

and just let Joe Root talk in the lovely way he does and say, let's get on with cricket.

Yes.

What about you, Jim?

Yeah, I agree with what you said there.

It just made me think that I like, and I know it's quite soon after what happened in the winter and the New Zealand incident or whatever, but I just thought, well, if he's not right for taking over now, then why is he vice captain sort of thing?

That was the first, my initial thought, but then I completely agree with what you said.

For now, it's probably the right thing to do.

I think that would have been really difficult for Harry.

I think the hard thing is a little bit like we've got into this situation where

you can feel that the personnel and the team want to win.

And if they win, they'll be like, forgive my language, you to the media and certain people and fans that want to win.
