I look forward to your posts, whatever you predict the opposite normally happens so i'm off down the bookies to put a monkey on England to win the series

it's all a bit Glenn Mcgrath 5-0

England haven't won a series away from home since 2012, feel free to waste your money however you see fit.

I will give you Rashid and Ali at a push, but Stokes is far from a buffet bowler.

Stokes is turning into a great cricketer in my opinion, him Root and Buttler are the types of lads you can build a long term team around.

Bowling average of 40+ And getting smashed around at 4/5 runs per over. That Buzz is Stokes the buffet bowler.

you might want to watch him bowling at trent bridge again then.

Also, he has had more catches dropped of his bowling this summer than all the other bowlers combined.

Or perhaps this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBN1Qb851yo

he is a better bowler now than then too.

Bits and pieces players like Ali, Stokes and Rashid will get exposed in the Middle East. Pakistan might not have Ajmal or Rehman anymore, but England can't play spin for toffee. So Pakistan will pick 2/3 decent spinners and skittle England every time. Ali and Rashid will be buffet bowling for batsmen like Younus and Misbah.

Not sure how many people will agree with me, but I'm not putting Ben Stokes in the bits and pieces category - he has test class performances with both bat and ball under his belt already, and is only getting better.

Stokes luckily flukes a 6fer on a doctored pitch? He's a buffet 9 times outta 10.

I would still take Stokes over Marsh/Watson/whatever other current Australian all rounders you've got to offer every single day of the week..... and twice on Sundays!

He took 6fer at Sydney as well, doctored green top though I would imagine.

Stokes is a wild slugger with the bat, hence why his average is a mediocre 31. His bowling turns up once in a blue moon and hence he averages 40.

I agree with you Johnny.

has this forum been infected with some sort of strange mind bending drugs?

6/99 at Sydney going at over 5 run per over? Yeah the buffet bowler's luck was in that day.
