85 MPH is plenty with his height.

 

he's damn good in ODI. Not sure why not able to control in Tests.

Afridi played many attacking knocks in his home like conditions. 

 

Even Jadeja scored ton from 90-5 last year. Just that Stokes scores faster.

 

Lets talk when he does it in India

 

and great 'allrounder' needs to bowl too.

 

He's just a good attacking bat as of now

Playing attacking shots from start is something many people can do, Stokes can do hitting combined with defense.

 

He does not need to do in India to prove his greatness.

It is already a one innings game. If Wood bowls like first innings game on.  Australia relies purely on Cummins. 

 

Murphy will be more relevant in 2nd innings.

 

Aus need to bat long now. Lots of time left

lol why not? Great players do well in various conditions, not just on flat decks or home conditions.

 

Jadeja's knock from 90-5 with ball swinging was much better,just not visually pleasing or attacking.

His wrist position is poor as well. That is why he is easier to line up against. These days he relies on magic balls that get released accidentally.

Stokes is a great allrounder not great batsman for him score runs everywhere.

 

Jadeja is not even in the same ball park as batsman as Stokes.

Please no...  I had enough of seeing Gujara in my life...  Don't bring dead back from the grave:goodnight:

It will be down to how well Australia bats. England is one bowler down.  Stokes won't bowl. Possibly won't field as well. So broad/wood/woakes/Moeen have to share the workload. Leeds is easier to bat on when there is bright sunshine. Smith and Labu have to put their hands up

If he had a great wrist position, he would have ended up as a ATG fast bowler as he had everything else.He could bowl express over 150 effortlessly when he was younger.

how is he a great allrounder if hes not a great batsman and even worse bowler? :hmmmm2:

 

Jadeja is great as bowler and good enough with bat.

Only reason he is in because of Hazlewood's fitness. They prefer boland these days. But boland appears to be too predictable.  Originally projected as Philander part 2. I doubt he will get that far.

Who said Jadeja is a great bowler. Jadeja is a darter who benefitted with tailor made pitches.Let us not go overboard on his bowling skills.
