Last update: 28/03/22 6:00 a.m. Joe Ruth is comforted by his deputy Ben Stokes after the defeat of England with 10 goals in the third test against the West Indies.
Joe Ruth says he wants to continue as England’s men’s test leader, despite his team falling to 10 goals by defeating the West Indies in the third Test in Grenada – making the five-game unbeaten streak. The defeat of England completes a series of results in which it has only one solitary victory in the Test from its last 17 matches that extend until February 2021. Such a miserable extent led to speculation about Ruth’s future as captain, but he spoke of his determination to continue at the end of the day’s game. “I have made it clear at the beginning of this game and throughout this tour that I am very passionate about trying to get this team forward,” he said, adding: “I will control what I can. do not think that it is ever in your hands. “I feel the team is far behind me. We are doing a lot of really good things – we just have to turn it into results now.” Root added that he had seen growth on his part during the series, especially in the first two tests drawn, destroying their old woes that return with two top crashes in the third. England were eliminated for 204 and 120 in two appearances in the third Test in Grenada which was decisive in the series.
“Immediately there is the disappointment of how it ended, because in this whole series I think we played very good cricket,” said the governor. “We showed what we can do as a group, we grew up in the first two games as a batting group, we showed big steps in this section and after yesterday it disappointed us, it really hurt us. “It was an important day in the series and we just did not respond well enough. We are now in this position where we ended up losing the series when we played such great cricket. “ Use the Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Former England striker Nick Compton admits it may be time for England to replace Joe Root as captain following a string of poor performances.

Root added: “I thought the attitude throughout the tour was great – in that sense we have made a lot of improvements. “It simply came to our notice then. There is so much we can take away from it; of course we came here to win and it is frustrating that we have not done so, but if we are going to keep learning, keep growing as a team and if we want to start winning, we have to keep it the approach “.

Collingwood: The England team is together behind Joe

England’s interim coach for the West Indies tour, Paul Collingwood, has backed Ruth to continue as captain, saying the locker rooms “are together and just behind Joe”. England transfer manager Paul Collingwood said he would “definitely” take on the role full time if offered by the ECB.
“You can see that all the players, the management and Joe himself have the determination to move this team forward and get results,” Collingwood said. “If I was here and I did not think about it, then there would be a problem. “Leadership does not affect his shot, he still goes out there and scores. And he is desperate to turn things around and make this team as good as possible – as simple as that.” Use the Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Former England assistant coach Paul Farbrace says the defeat to the West Indies will not have hurt Paul Collingwood’s chances of securing the role permanently.
