Was extremely unimpressed at Sutherlands captaincy at the renegades this year. 
Doesn't appear to be Captain material to me. Too inconsistent himself and doesn't show the grit a Captain can provide.

But he's the son of, so will get more opportunity...

Ben Stokes the first victim from the Bazball era to fall on his sword and retire from International cricket. The English are about lose a home series to New Zealand and Id expect there to be more fallout with a couple more big names to follow.
The Stokes/McCullum relationship was strained and there was the recent nightclub incident as well and I think Stokes has decided its all to hard be English Captain despite his good form especially with the ball of late. He did say the last Ashes defeat took a lot out of him but for me its more about the politics and expectations of English cricket weighing him down.
Sad to see such a gun cricketer leave the game and it will be interesting to see if England go with another troubled player in Harry Brook as their next captain given he is the vice captain or they turn back the clock and give Joe Root the job until they find a find a new Stokes.
