it's more apt to say the Windies are playing Fearless Cricket.....the soft Proteas can do with a dose and then some. Windies cricket fell into a long slump after 15 glorious years but now they're back, certainly nowhere near as great as in the past but it's a start and it's good for cricket and good for West Indian cricket. I expect them to seal the deal against a more than useful English side who have also dragged themselves up by the heels. Fasten your seat belts.... it's game on as Root, Butler, Hales, Ga.yle and Johnson go aerial.
Let us have the hero of the night, Carlos Brathwaite, have the final word on Stokes. He said this in an interview to ESPNCricinfo.
"Ben Stokes is an absolute legend in his own right. You shouldn't forget what he has done for England in the past couple of months. Cricket is a cruel game, and a lot of people can be on him, but just remember Stuart Broad was hit for six sixes by Yuvraj, and his career has gone on the up ever since. To Ben, tough luck last night, commiserations to you and the England team. Wish he has a long and successful career ahead of him."
