Hopefully Stokes will turn out to be another Flintoff, we have really missed an all-rounder and will help England have 5 bowlers which you really need these days. Fully expect Jos Buttler to become the wicket keeper in the next couple of years, his keeping is excellent. I think we have plenty of decent young talent in the game and whilst this maybe the end of this current team should be some good times ahead for us.
They have deserved it, sure Clarke was taking the piss when he said England have put up a fight. Fair play to Stokes he played so well for one so young.
Full credit to Stokes in only his second test playing with some passion and putting most of his team mates to shame. We will obviously lose but hopefully he will get a century. He is the only positive from this disastrous tour.
I thought it would be a close series! How stupid was i??! Just been a complete mess and what on earth was the point in picking Rankin and Finn in the squad when you aren't going to pick them on fast bouncing tracks?
