Ben Stokes 22:33 - Jul 30 with 813 views | vapour_trail | Bit of a shock. Hopefully he gets well again before too long. We will miss him against India and it would be a surprise to see him want to take on an ashes tour. In completely unrelated news, Piers Morgan seems to have gone missing. He’s been gleefully sticking the boot into Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka for the past few days, but has suddenly gone to ground. | |

Constant attention and expectation heaped on him, especially after WC final and Headingly Ashes test, then the loss of his father and a string of -at best- niggling injuries. And that's just the stuff we know about. Hope he takes all the time and gets all the support he needs. Would like to see him back at the T20 World Cup in UAE but no idea if that's a realistic aim | | | |

I have thought for some time that too much is being put upon his shoulders in terms of having to dig England out of a hole with bat and ball. In India he seemed to be bowling way beyond the point of exhaustion and in pain. Almost more surprised he's stuck it out this long. | |
