He does a job, and he does it well.  If you have five of those, your attack works most of the time, even if you don't have a world beater.

He would be good enough to get in our team I think quite easily.hes decent and a different angle.

Regarding the test match I didn't know if anyone else has read this in the press but some journos are saying if Stokes can't bowl he will play as a batter only and Vince misses out....

I'm not sure England would do this but someone somewhere might have a tip that is what we are going to do.

Is Stokes one of the best six of our top seven? Yes
Is Vince the weakest? Yes
Would NZ murder Ali as our fourth of four frontline bowlers? Yes

Simples...

Are you stalking people?

Judging by the clarity of the picture I would say WG and Mrs Grace?

Haha. Mr Root and wife/child over on Waiheke Island.

Looks like Stokes will be fit to bowl which is very good news. With that Vince is likely to keep his place at three.

Much prefer that Stokes holds off the bowling until the second Test and plays as a pure batsman at 5. Pick Anderson, Woakes, Broad and Overton/Wood. Don't really want Stokes to pick up a more serious niggle

Wagner doesn't get into our side. In England we swing it around. The ball would look like a dogs dinner after Wagner keeps winging it in half way down.

Wagner is the 6th bast bowler in the world right now and has got to 100 test wickets faster than any Kiwi bowler other than Hadley.
Yes he gets into the England team.

Also NZ are ranked 4th in the world to our 5th.

Good for the Kiwis. Shame Wagner wasn't good enough for his own country
