Root must resign as Captain of the Ashes

London, December 29, : Geoffrey Boycott, an ex-england opener has asked Joe Root to resign as captain of Test after they lost the 2021/22 Ashes 12 days into the series.

Australia won the Ashes, with Root under greater pressure to remain as captain.Although no one would ever give up their captaincy, its not about Joe.It is all about helping men perform better.The question at the end of the series should be: Would England gain from having a different captain? This is not a personal attack on Joe.Boycott wrote in his column to The Telegraph that Joe is loved by all." It is difficult not to love him.However, Joe stated that Ashes series are what define players and captains, especially in Australia.We have been terrible in this series so its time to give Joe another chance to galvanise them," Boycott said, having played 108 Tests for England.

Boycott attacked Roots captaincy and said that Root lacks both the authority to manage the Test team.Roots leadership has seen England lose nine Tests and be unable to win the Ashes series.

Root should stop claiming that Australia is not better than us now that Australia has beaten Australia 3-0.He can live in cuckoo country, but he should stop pretending to be anything other than that.Maybe he truly believes everything he claims, then perhaps its time to give up his captaincy for the England cricket team.

The facts are right in front of us, but Joe refuses to accept them.England cannot bat.Our bowling has been average.Poor catching by Buttler (the wicketkeeper) has plagued us.Joe lacks imagination in his captaincy.He has been wildly off-base in his team selections and decision making.

After losing three consecutive Ashes matches, the 81-year old Root said he was fed up of Roots statements.We are sick of hearing Joe say England can learn from its bad days or Joe saying he expects to hear back after an embarrassing performance.This rubbish is too much.

We are not idiots for treating ex-players of cricket.Captains accept praises for their teams wins, but they must also accept criticism or blame when they fail.Lets face it, weve been defeated.
