We signed Chanderpaul and won the Championship. I bet you weren't complaining about that were you?
Stokes IMO was introduced at the perfect time, he came into first class cricket and almost immediately began to make an impact. Back to back hundreds at Trent Bridge and Canterbury in the May was proof of that was it not? Who's to say if he was introduced the season before he might have struggled?
It's impossible to predict, but you cannot possibly prove that Durham held him back, you can however prove that Durham contributed largely to the development of him into a fantastic talent.
What exactly did Moores do for him? Oh yeah, dropped him from the ODI squad in 2016, meaning he didn't go to the World Cup. Which was arguably one of the biggest fuck ups of the entire tournament.
If Moores did make Stokes a better player, it was completely by accident.
