Sentiment should play no part in Sport short of friendlies and testimonials, it should always be based on form and the development of future players. But we see it time and time again, particularly where the England football side is concerned.
Stokes looked hugely unintelligent when going on about Anderson yesterday. Nobody's denying that he's our greatest bowler ever, or has been brilliant for England. But time has caught up with him, and he's been rubbish this series. Meanwhile, Tongue who bowled well, looked dangerous and took wickets hasn't been played, in order to give Jimmy his swansong in the last two tests. Terrible captaincy to be honest.
