Stokes will be the next Freddie, got alot of time for this kid.

6 fer on top of his ton in the last test, he's the real deal
Simply shows that you have to give young guys a crack whilst young.

To become world class helps to play world class.

Cook can bat, Anderson is no 11

thats pretty English, you wont see Aussies doing that

He obviously put himself in a position where he had to survive another ball. But Cook's wicket is much more valuable and he removed any risk of them losing that.

I'm not saying it wasn't negative- it was. But I can see the logic behind it.

To be honest, I gave Cook less of a chance of being there at stumps than Carberry.

Have England met the over rate all series? Cook's pocket must be hurting as much as his pride.

Holy cr@p Johnson bowled well in those three overs.

If he bowls like that tomorrow, 326 will be more than enough.

On a side note, Haddin is 8 runs away from Gilchrist's record for most runs ever in a test series by a wicketkeeper (473). Though Gilchrist did it in 3 tests. :lol:

Made an error. Remembered incorrectly. Number 7 batsman instead of wicketkeeper..

Stokes definitely has some Freddy in him in particular his bowling looking better than his batting. Out of this horror tour they might have found the all rounder they have been searching for.
