    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.

    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.

      He has an impressive highlight and is therefore basically the Ardie Savea of international cricket

        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.

                @nta Never in doubt. A thumping victory that makes me think of Steve Waugh, Johnny Howard's trcksuit, Thorpedo and big Johnny Eales in his prime.

                What a disaster for England. Leach hit out of the series. Stokes hurt. Robinson hurt. Couldn't happen to a better group of blokes. Why fly to Adelaide when you could just take a right turn and go all the way home, save everyone the trouble of watching you limp to sad defeat after sad defeat.

                The only reason to go on is to give Jimmy Anderson a fitting send-off from test cricket - limping off with a hamstring injury as Australia pass 500 for the second time in Adelaide.

                  @nta Never in doubt. A thumping victory that makes me think of Steve Waugh, Johnny Howard's trcksuit, Thorpedo and big Johnny Eales in his prime.

                  What a disaster for England. Leach hit out of the series. Stokes hurt. Robinson hurt. Couldn't happen to a better group of blokes. Why fly to Adelaide when you could just take a right turn and go all the way home, save everyone the trouble of watching you limp to sad defeat after sad defeat.

                  The only reason to go on is to give Jimmy Anderson a fitting send-off from test cricket - limping off with a hamstring injury as Australia pass 500 for the second time in Adelaide.

                  Thanks Warnie.

                  Why don't you give us your thoughts on Mitch Starc while we're here, and you're in such an ebullient mood?

                        Starc finally goes after a very nice 40-odd (35).

                        Lead basically 250

                              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.

                              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.

                              He has an impressive highlight and is therefore basically the Ardie Savea of international cricket

                              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.

                              Cant think of a more clutch performance in cricket ever than Stokes at Headingley. Only other real clutch one comes to mind is lara 150 chasing 4th innings in 1999 v peak Aussies.

                                Stokes has played key roles in big results on big stages. He's a fine player and would make nearly every team in teh world

                                    Burns gets a pair - but, it's rescinded on review.

                                    I think Hussey (?) was just identifying the possibility of his front foot movement making him an lbw candidate when he was.

                                          If Burns gets past 20 with all that jittery stuff going on, I’ll be surprised.
