Staring down the barrel already

Still could keep their lead quite small.

Anyway, reckon it will be a draw.

I like Denly, but...

Crawley looks a player

Draw pretty unlikely!

Good figures for Hugh Jardon today.

Precisely

Denly dropped

Jimmy rested

 

How to tell the difference?

One isn't coming back,  t'other is....

I see Jofra has fucked up

Selfish cunt. 

Makes you wonder,  though,  why they can make such a big deal of becoming a bio-bubble and then not travelling within the same bubble top a game.  Travelling individually was never going to end well.

Anybody can get a first baller but that was a shocker

Shouldnt have had his bat anywhere near it

Anyone know exactly what he's done?

Drove from Southampton to his home in Brighton. He should've been driving to Manchester direct.

If anything, that was worse

Good days batting today. Well done England. 

Superb victory. Proper team effort with a couple of starring performances. Broad with some wickets on his return and, once again, Stokes.

All done in 4 days too.

Onto, er, Old Trafford.

Have we seen a better player than Stokes?

 

Not many.

Sobers, perhaps?

Proctor?

Long way to go before he challenges kallis as the best of my lifetime

Not sure JK gets anywhere near stokes' athleticism and all round game.

13000 runs

300 wickets

200 catches

Thats some all round game that Stokes needs to better

Massively underrated is Kallis

Then there's Hadlee and Imran who were both better bowlers than Stokes....and Kallis

Interesting subject, though

I've deliberately left Botham, Flintoff and Irani out as I'm not sure hes yet done enough to be ranked above them

Well, maybe Irani

Some catch, that

Not disputing his record, bit was referring to stokes' incredible fitness and willingness to chase a lost cause. His run saving and all round fielding is astounding but isn't as easily measured.

Need to wait until he's finished to compare properly.

Perhaps the best number is to see the highest ever rakng score for any player

Don Bradman is, of course, the best player ever
