Stokes joins England for 2nd test nets

[The Breen Machine]

In terms of his bowling, he's taking more wickets and clearly seems to possess some wicket taking knack, but every time I watch him bowl he throws down a lot of tripe and looks a mile off being an international quality 4th or 5th bowler.

Interesting to see Stokes is down at Lords and has joined up with England for practice sessions before 2nd test. Also down there is Monty and Tremlett.
Its a pity Ben has not managed a couple of big scores in the championship or i reckon he would be pressing hard for that no6 position.
He would offer England so much and even now i still think he is a better batsmen than Bairstow. Good to see England have forgiven his Aussie cock up..

not sure about that, but he is comfortably the best bowler out of the two

Looks like we'll find out who's next off the rank soon. Pietersen a doubt for the next game, Bopara carrying a knock and this morning when asked about it Gooch said we were fortunate that we've got some good batsmen and bowlers to come in but the only player he mentioned by name was Taylor who he said was in good form
