Sonoftherock Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Stokes is terrible in limited overs cricket. Does nothing with the bat or ball. He's good in the test side because he can change a game for them but limited overs? Nah. haha! What did he do in the semi final!? You've just said he can't change a game in limited overs... but that's exactly what he did with his 3-fer! In the previous game!! The first few batsmen shad NZ going along nicely, before Stokes cleaned up the next few wickets (and also a run-out to boot!) and shut down the momentum. He was the game changer! They were 4-138 when he got started, then three quick wickets from stokes and suddently they're 7-150 and struggling! ... then he runs out McClenaghan for 8-153. One of the most ridiculous comments I've read on AFC Chat!!! Link to comment

One of the most ridiculous comments I've read on AFC Chat!!! His only ever good game with the ball in t20. 17 matches has 8 wickets going at 10 an over with a strike rate of 30. Batting wise 14 innings average of 14 strike rate 149 high score of 31. Awful stats. Should not be in the England t20 side. Link to comment

E-P-K Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 From a neutral perspective, it very funny! Another classic English meltdown, after they'd started becoming too cocky! However, tough on Stokes. He's been developing into one of the best players in the world over the past 18 months or so. Bangladesh... Link to comment

Old Wing Stand Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Good to see them getting stuffed right, the most cocky bunch of sportsmen you're likely to meet Link to comment
Dynamo Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Could still be a draw though if they bat out this session without losing a wicket. Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Australia really struggling at the minute too... got the win against Pakistan the other day, but the media have been savaging them after just about snatching defeat from the jaws of a certain victory. Link to comment

Aye they had some collapses V SA which would have made England proud. Link to comment

Stokes is a bit of a prick at times and Broad has had his moments over the years.Joey Root can have a go, but i think the opposition target him. Can't think of anyone else who maybe "cocky".

alscotoz Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Australia v Pakistan has become desperately one sided. The Pakistanis have nothing in the bowling dept. Link to comment

E-P-K Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 2-0 India. Another series defeat. Get in. Great to see Piers Morgan have an online break down, 2 x 35 year olds win the match for India (Dhoni + Singh) while his 35 year old mate Kevin Pietersen continues to get excluded by England.

Pietersen earning a few bucks in Oz BBL. Comes across as a decent character. Don't think he's too fussed about not playing for his adopted country. Link to comment
