*Official* South African tour of England and Ireland 2022

Stokes' stats since his return are grim.

Some of the dismissals have been poor.

 

[Starfighter]

surely he can't be worse than david warner away from home remembering even moeen ali managed to son him

Nah he's definitely worse than Warner. I don't think I've seen a more inept player of spin amongst actual batsmen, and that includes things like when Sri Lanka whitewashed Australia.

stokes needed to phone home then

Yeah it's not close. Pope sucks against spin at home as well.

 

[chris.hinton]

I've really underestimated South Africa here.

Fair play to them

I'm off to eat a slice of humble pie

 

[Starfighter]

Yeah it's not close. Pope sucks against spin at home as well.

It baffles me why he's so bad though. I know spin isn't a big thing in England but he bats low in the order and plays at the Oval, a ground that invites playing a spinner even if just to hold on the flat pitch. He must've seen enough spin at FC level, yet he looks so bad at times that many a club player would fancy themselves - and I mean third grader, not first.

When did stokes last score more than twenty.Baz ball was always pie in the sky against top class bowlers.Australia will be quaking in their boots

 

[grecian]

It's just deja vu, hard to feel anything at this point, we can comeback. Pope at least seems to be proving some of us wrong, but Crawley and Lees doing the opposite.

India and New Zealand, not top-class interesting.

Stokes has been poor with bat and ball since his return.

 

[Spark]

Stuart Broad at 8 against this attack? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[BazBall21]

Lol Broad in at this stage against a high pace attack

NZ this summer were a long long long way from top class tbh. India were probably a bit undercooked.

He's The Night Hawk.

I`m pleased with this SA team performance, keeping England to under 4 runs an over is impressive...

 

[andruid]

We have been here severally in the past few months with #Bazball, the new thing is now England isn't batting last

 

[BazBall21]

Over in England we have had a two month drought and regional water shortages. Then a test match comes along.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

How is #bazball doing?

You okay bro?
