Title: Royal London One Day Cup final
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on September 20, 2014, 10:38:28 AM: Missed the start of this game, but from what I've seen Stokes is bowling really well (and is unlucky not to have a wicket!)
Looks like Durham have had the better of the first 17 overs but theres a long way to go.

Warwickshire in trouble now.

Rikki Clarke dropped on 0 second ball. Stokes has been really unlucky not to have 3 or 4 by now!

As Stokes can't trust his fielders he Yorked him, good ball - crap shot!

Tough first over for Ben Stokes.

Stokes, must have been one of the tougher decisions though!

Why play for NZ against good spin-playing batsmen when he can play against English batsmen who seem to have no clue about spin and just try and hoon the ball out of the park all the time because they run out of ideas.

It is the same with football. Why bother to learn technique? It is all about the 'big'un' surely...?

Useless was an understatement. Some of those batsmen should be ashamed. I have seen better batting against spin at club level.

Patel is NOT Murali, nor Warne. He is not even Stuart McGill, Graeme Swann or Daniel Vittori. He is a very average spinner bowling at even more average batsmen. Simple.

PS. I support Middlesex. We have Ollie Rayner... Sums it up really!
