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.

I think he will be great in test cricket. Odi mixed bag..this will haunt him forever.

 

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

Did Stokes err in length? Implementation mistake? Braithwaite carted length balls for huge sixes.
Are Stokes and Braithwite in some IPL teams for 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

His length and direction was right in his arc. That was his mistake. Bit wider or bit shorter might have yielded some other result.
