I can remember when he scored a whirlwind doubled century once. Also it paved the way for nothing, England with or without Stokes unremittingly sucked against decent opposition from then up to the current NZ series.
i see what you're doing here and i don't like it
Budget Sachin Tendulkar imo
The only thing Ben Stokes has elicited fear of is the failure of the British justice system to protect innocent citizens from vicious assault
wasnt that on the roadiest pitch ever though and was widely recognised as being such
This is brutally true. Since that Stokes innings have they even won a single Ashes Test? Maybe the one dead rubber I don't remember. Can't really say it paved the way for anything positive
Eh, if you're looking for important innings then his 112 vs SA is worth mentioning.
Ah, they won at the Oval after Tim Paine sent them in remember? I still seethe in anger about the stupidity of that decision.
we're talking about the 258 in the most boring draw in recent memory non mcg edition though right when you say whirlwind double? or are my wires crossed
How many better than run-a-ball doubles have there been recently? And, no, Perth 2015 was way more boring.
yeah it's this one hence i specified non mcg edition
i remember that one fondly bc i was in year ten geography with mates watching intently to see if ross the boss would hit the triple hundred... teacher came across and we thought we were going to get busted but he just wanted to know the score lol
You still doing geology or whatever it was you were doing?
Nah. Applied for fifteen jobs in the field (and even more since), but didn't get any, got one outside of it.
Typical. Way too many graduates for the jobs available.
"OOPS"
That's not why they lost. They lost because they were basically on the cans the whole time after they won the 4th test and retained the Ashes
What would TOTAB have done to them?
