This Stokes fella then, closing in on joining the 1000 runs 100 wicket club and when you look at his stats there are only 8 players in history who are on the list with more tons than he currently has and he will clearly go past a few as Miller had 7 and Greig and Kapil Dev 8. Think he will end up as one of the top ranked all rounders who were primarily a batsman come the end of his career as even if he has an injury and can't bowl he would get in the side at present as a bat alone given how poor our top order are. Add in the ridiculous spell he produced yesterday and he is some player to have given the silly catches he constantly pulls off.
Just hope we keep him fit for many years to come as players like this don't come round too often. Scaly will no doubt moan about him missing a game he has to bowl 4 overs in yet he can bowl a 13 over spell in a test but there are bigger fish to fry than a stupid T20 match. I'd be tempted to rest him for the ODI's too, that or tell him to get in a spat with Samuels so he gets an enforced rest and is clear for the ashes ahead.
He is a strange combination really as he is a much better bat than Flintoff but not as good a bowler but has more Michelle's as when he gets it right he goes into Broad god mode and is almost unplayable. I think yesterday was probably the finest spell in a Lord's test since McGrath in 97 it was that good. Just pray we don't overuse him as we need him for years to come.
