**Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

Kenneth Viljoen

International Regular
Understatement, at best. There was never anything that suggested he'd offer anything at Test level, even if he got drawn to play golf with Stokes on Monday.

That's what I don't like about modern cricket. Jacob Bethall didnt earn test cricket and certainly not batting 3, which was borne out in how he played. But he was picked on some bizarre intent BS
He's only 21 sky's the limit at that age

Need Stokes to go big.
Yep easier said than done to score 500+ but with 3 very decent batsman to come we don't need to go gung ho.

As soon as the new ball came Stokes was charging down the pitch. It's the mindset thing we've talked about before they don't get grinding teams into the dirt is positive too, doesn't necessarily matter how fast you get the runs if you bat them out of the game.
