England dough Ben Stokes reacts after being released during the fifth day of the second test match against India in Edgbaston (Figure Stu Forster/Getty Images) Former England Captain Michael Atherton raised serious questions about the declining form and leadership of Ben Stokes, especially after the severe defeat of England in India in the second test in Edgbaston. So far, Atherton has called this to the “strict test” of Stokes’s captain, and emphasized how the versatile batting immersed every year since the takeover of the reins. “Add to the problems with the back-to-back, Little Rest, heavy defeat and bad judgment is its own form with a bat, which has fallen every year at work,” Atherton wrote in his column for The Times. The third Lord’s test will mean two years since Stokes was the last scored by the Test Sto, which was his 13th, against Australia in ashes. Atherton believes that his current position is played by only one format of his choice, leaving him in critical time. “As a devoted player with one format that doesn’t play much.” Cricket external tests – sometimes from your own will – Stokes are in an unpleasant position to be a short rhythm and shape when it must lead from the front, ”Atherton added.
SHUBMAN GILL, Gautam Gambhir closed critics with a pounding of victory over England
Atherton drew the contrast and appreciated Indian Captain SHUBman Gill for his peace and technique against rotation. “While Stokes looked like spin, its opposite number is lordling. “England plans Gill to target its stumps early, by returning the ball back to its pillows, but did not look like getting off. On the bowling queue in England Atherton demanded changes before the gentleman’s test. He supported the inclusion of Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson despite their limited work load of the red ball recently. “It is obvious that the pace of attack needs refreshment. When SOS went to Archer in 2019 in Lord’s as a way of stopping Steve Smith, the rapid superior was at the top of his game, although he did not play the test cricket. He will be as good as before? “

Do you think Ben Stokes should continue as a captain after a recent defeat?
Atherton also emphasized Atkinson’s record at the venue. “Gus Atkinson has a huge record in Lord, with a ball and a bat, but since he tuned his hamstring against Zimbabwe, six weeks ago. Pairing with Archer has been gambling, but if they are supposed to be selected). He noted that Chris Woakes, despite his history in Lord’s, had a bad series. “Yet (Chris) Woakes, which also has an excellent record in Lord’s, is 36 years old and took three goals in an average of 96 in this series. Despite the challenges of Atherton, he urged caution before reaction changes. “Paniva changes are rarely a way to go after defeat. I would keep faith with launching and refresh the seam attack and brought Archer and Atkinson for Josh of the language and Brydon Cars.
