Helpful luxury! No mention of part time!

As I replied but you didn't seem to come up with a response, if Stokes/Alí couldn't bowl would they still be picked for batting alone?? I would hazard a guess that they would, therefore it is a helpful luxury that England have 2 batsman that bowl.

Fail to see how you're disputing this??
Stokes would, Ali wouldn't I don't think - he's a good player, but seems to get out softly too often when he's higher up the order, hence why he's at 8 these days! I think you could make a good case for Stokes getting selected for either his batting or bowling alone (and he has been in the past) which is what makes him such a valuable player. Very very rare you get a true all-rounder!

Not bad for a helpful luxury bowler.

No, they would absolutely not be picked as specialist no. 6 and 8 batsnen. With the personnel we currently have they would bat in the top five and extra bowlers would be picked.

Just leave it. Really.

Right, so they would be picked as batsmen only?

If you're going to 'quote' to be a smart ass don't whinge when you get called up on it.

Let's just enjoy the cricket and the abundance of choice at Joe's disposal!

I really don't see what that's got to do with anything. Stokes is playing as an all-rounder and is clearly much more than a luxury as a bowler.

I'm not whinging, I'm laughing.
