Stokes needs a score on the batting front
He has been sketchy recently

Stokes just needs to calm down and play his proper game. He panics at times and tries to overhit the ball and goes too early. He’s strong enough he just needs to focus on timing it and anything will beat the fielders. Doesn’t need to hit his sixes 100 metres back into the stand

His record is decent enough

The fact you use the praise “decent enough” proves my point
 
Also, should've been Malan at three, Lawrence at four, Stokes at five. Wasting him at 3
...right as I say that :lol:

Hope he gets a big 100 but why is Stokes batting 3 in this format? He’s probably the best 5 in the world

Suspect it’s a reaction to the Indian criticism saying he should bat 3 in T20 for us. Selection is very muddled. As the other guy said, Malan 3, Lawrence 4 and stokes at 5 would make more sense, with jos following at 6. Although in this situation, stokes came in at a typical number 4/5 time due to the large opening partnership
 
Don't like that shot from Stokes. Not a high percentage shot.

England will make this look easy if they just bat like they have. Which is to play the good balls for 0s and 1s, hit the bad ones for 4/6 and try to create the odd bad ball with footwork.

As soon as England try to manufacture or premeditate shots they're taking unnecessary risks.
