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.

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.

Indeed. He was compared to Ardie, not Richie.

@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?

Hmmm. Clutch player Stokes.
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

It's a bit bloody unfair really.
Starc and Hazelwood are like hybrids with Big Kyle's height and Lachie Ferguson's pace - and they're got two, nearly three of them!
At least Lillee and Thomson had the decency to just be about average height!
