Sid_SuhaiL Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Not gonna say anything about his last over but he was a disappointment with the bat in this WT20 , today was a perfect opportunity for him to score a quick 40-50 & get his team towards a 175+ total. Link to comment

U always get a 2nd chance to come back, n when u get it depends on u. Yuvraj singh was hit for 5 sixes in eng b4 t20 wc, he got a chance few mnths after and he cashed it. Ben stokes will have his chances Sid_SuhaiL 1 Link to comment
Singh bling Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 S . Broad became one of the frontline bowler of England after he was hit for 6 sixes adi B and diehardpacer 2 Link to comment
fineleg Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Did Stokes err in length? Implementation mistake? Braithwaite carted length balls for huge sixes. Are Stokes and Braithwite in some IPL teams for 2016? Edited April 3, 2016 by fineleg Link to comment
Adi_91 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Stokes is a decent allrounder for England. I think he is going to be here for a long time and will become better. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Iconoclast Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 When he faces Asian or Caribbean cricketers his face turns red with anger and he completely loses his shit. Make of it what you will ... Link to comment
bowl_out Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 He bowled 4 length balls - half volleys today... Zero variation... Would have loved to see a slow short ball or even a quick short one to surprise Brathwaite.. Might be a handy bowler in Tests, but poor performance today. Link to comment

Saw the highlights and the way Jordan bowled the 19th over, it was clear, go yorkers. Instead, all his yorker attempts were full tosses and too full to be pulled for 6s. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment
CoverDrive Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 First ball was absolute shit but there is still a comeback possible. Second ball he tried to perfect the yorker and it was not a bad ball but missed by a little bit - was a genius hit by Carlos scooping that up. After that Stokes just lost it. I think captain and others should have calmed him down. Link to comment
adi B Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Ashwin and mishra vs stokes would be fun later this year Link to comment

Brathwaite didn't exactly have to time the ball. His brute force carried the ball over the fence. Link to comment

Yes, but some variations, maybe a slow ball or a slow ball bouncer would have been difficult to put bat on ball.. Even a couple of dots after the first six or maybe a single could have changed things drastically. Link to comment

Bit wider or bit shorter might have yielded some other result. Link to comment
