Hit a rapid ton in the warm up game today. Looks a good player and a shoe in for fridays opening ODI. Vaughan has been going on about him for a while now, i thought it was just Yorkie bias like.

Hit a six of last ball of the innings to move to ton.


104 from 53 balls. 6x4 and 8x6. Eng 367-4

We've needed someone like that for a while who can smash it around towards the end of the Innings and turn a decent score into a matchwinning one. 'Only' warm up opposition but he definitely deserves a chance.

From what little I saw of the late summer one dayers your boy Stokes looked a bit nervy in comparison. Was it a bit soon for him or did he just not quite do himself justice.

Completely off topic but congratulations on getting an Ashes Test too by the way - must be looking forward to that one?!
 
To my eternal shame i know little about Durham CCC or the lad Stokes. Although, due to my rapidly diminishing interest in top level football, i might redress that in the future. I only watch internationals, and keep the odd eye on the final county table and thats about it.

Aye good news about the ashes and i'll probably be there for 1 or 2 days, again, i've only ever been there for international cricket and never the domestic stuff.

Someone else will be along that can tell you better. :oops:

He did look nervous. He was in terrific form then got a bad injury and was put in the England team without really finding his touch again. And is now having rehab on the injury, think they should have let him be.
