Long may it continue Sky said that today was his first innings of more than 50 balls in any format for 2 years. Hasn't had nearly enough time at the crease.

That's a mental stat and a sign of the times of the dominance of the white ball game, I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markthehorn Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Archer back with England . Could go to the World Cup as a reserve - wouldn’t be a bad back up if he kept fit . https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/66788942 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 No doubt now that Stokes is the best batting all rounder of all time. Probably best overall all rounder as well. Just keeps doing it. Seems optimistic about bowling again as well which is so vital 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman_Stand Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 54 minutes ago, Super said: Kallis is the best all rounder ever. Difficult to argue that statement with his record in Test and ODI cricket, comfortably ahead of Stokes in both runs and wickets, its difficult to call Stokes a true allrounder anymore but over the course of his career he is probably ahead of Botham and Flintoff now for England especially given the way he stands up in the big moments and performs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
