Stokes gets Davey but has overstepped.
Both dickwads so who cares
Agree about Davey, but why don't you like Stokes? Apart from fighting a while ago Stokes has been ok hasn't he?
Too overrated

Not his fault. He would have been handy for us in India though.

England almost teetered on the brink of getting back in the game, but Head has taken that away.

Bing would be happy about that one…
Head has batted brilliantly. A ton in a session. Gilly-like

@act-crusader The combo of Head, Green and Carey makes me nervous. Would much rather have Khawaja in there.
What’s the story there ? There’s a forgotten name but someone still good enough you’d think

Was apparently a choice between him and Head

When given the option, always choose Head.

Or collapsed with the rest of the batsmen and bowled innocuously. I suspect this would be the case.

Possibly. I still don't get the hate for him though. Apart from being a ranga and arguably overrated, he is fairly inoffensive isn't he? Or have I missed his shenanigans?

Being a ranga is enough for @NTA and being overrated is enough for me. Seriously, Wisden have a sickening article on him every five minutes like he’s the second coming. Truth is he looks pretty good next to some pretty shithouse teammates but he’s currently the 15th best batsman and the 37th best bowler in the world.

The overrating and the Wisden articles are hardly his fault though and it's not as if he's trumpeting his achievements all the time. I don't really see him as consistent enough at either discipline to be considered an all time great, in particular his bowling, but when he comes good he is bloody brilliant. As to the current stats, you need to take into account he's hardly played any first class cricket for God knows how long.

He might be a great bloke who knows but yeah the constant articles on him get so tiresome.
Definitely not an all time great but handy enough, Root aside he would be their most accomplished batsman but that’s not saying much.

Yeah I guess they’re both sportsmen who’s aura exceeds what they actually accomplish and they get named in World XV/XIs when they don’t deserve to be there.
