LEADER OF THE PACK!

BEN STOKES is in a leadership league of his own when it comes to Test match captaincy, with his predecessor his biggest fan.

It doesn’t matter Stokes’ incredible run of success stands in complete contrast with the way that Joe Root’s own tenure came to a tepid end.

The former skipper is delighted to be in the ranks and contributing to England’s red-ball revolution with his 14th score in excess of 150.

Root’s assessment of Stokes the captain is most pertinent, not only because he did it most recently but because he did it more than any other man before him (64 games), winning more than any other (27) but losing more than any other too (26).
