Mr Brandon to the thread please. @brandon

That is when I saw him. He reminded me of a young Stuart broad, but with a touch more pace

He is called Henry though. Not sure I'm comfortable with that.

his first 50 in 40-odd games

Only 25 innings in those games, batting at number 8.

I disagree he's a real assett upfront with the ball and often picks up key wickets too.
He has been getting better at the end and middle of the innings with the ball which has probably been his downfall and starting to show what he can do with the bat, always gonna be tough when coming in for the last 5 overs just having to swing the bat which is often his only chance.
Allrounders generally take time to get things right, Woakes wasn't great for a couple of years and neither was Ben stokes. He's also very decent on the field. You don't always have to be quick in odi's the great Australlian teams had many a medium pacer in the attack Nathan Bracken for one.

If you are going soley of yesterday blame our batsman for a poor performance in particular Stokes for playing an innings that made the pitch look like it was doing allsorts.

I was surprised to read that his wicket at the weekend was his 13th wicket in the first 10 overs of the last 27 matches, I thought he had a better record than that.
