Ben Stokes' 'emotional intelligence' reinvigorated my England career

Quote 💬

The county system isn’t just about individual domestic teams winning the trophies, it’s about producing players for England and making England better. I think we will see a shift. Even if not a full team shift, at a bare minimum you will see individuals in those teams making that shift if they have aspirations to play for England. The days of scoring 100 at a 40-strike rate are gone

England Batter Alex Lee
Opinion ✒️

Dang🔆
Unbelievable, Tendulkar's 200 is a memory

All of them openers. Crazy Kapil Dev scored 170+ coming in at #6 in that era. And Ronchi scored 170+ coming in at #7. Wonder how long before non-openers start scoring doubles too.
