Will a Test series loss to India be the end of captaincy for Ben Stokes?

[Kohlhaas]

Lol, probably the most undeserving MOTM award I have seen.

Bowled a couple of extra overs got, Bumrahs wicket (Bumrah threw it away) . Did nothing significant with the bat.

Well I don’t think England would have won the game without him. It’s about what he gets out of other people as much as his own batting and bowling. Like Mike Brearley, though Stokes is clearly a much more capable and valuable player than Brearley was.

It's very kind and gracious of India to allow England to win.

Very kind of you to act as a messenger boy for English team.

Stokes could lose 5 Test series vs India and the ECB wouldn’t give a flying fig.

This is India’s aukaat. However, if England suffer a humiliating whitewash/defeat down under in the upcoming Ashes, then you can bet Stokes will resign before he is sacked as captain. Look it up, the majority of English Test captains resign/sacked after an Ashes series.

Indians, don't think for a minute the England give a sh1t about you, they don't and never will.

To England, its Test cricket, and Australia is the final frontier for any English cricketer who wants to conquer the game.

To the point, England will wrap up the 4th Test in no time and then just focus on the Ashes.

India series is just practise sessions.

Yes England will forever be debted to Stokes for winning the Ashes in Australia. Last 3 tours when Stokes played, the result was either 0-4 or 0-5. Wonder what was Stokes doing all this while.

Are you saying that he contributed to the loses of that tour.

Are you saying that he contributed to the loses of that tour.

No, he didn’t contributed to loss. Afterall, he was hitting hundreds and taking 5-fers for fun while his team was poor .

Stokes averages 41 with bowl and 28 with bat. Missed the 2017 tour due to his indisciplinary act and getting into unnecessary brawl off the field. Yes, being a main player, he contributed to the losses too.

Stokes is not going anywhere atm.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Why did they drew a test in Ashes then? They should have lost it. They drew in other places too.

Rain intervened bro. They looked well set to win it. That is probably the only drawn match in Stokes' captaincy i think?
If rain washes out an entire day in the next 2 tests, then a draw can occur as well. I don't know what the forecast of next 2 tests look like.

A bit strong, but essentially true.
