Ben Stokes coming back for England is not all good news.
Australia are going soft, it's time to bring back the intimidation factor.
Hey Big Gord. Nice to see you read and comment on my article as always!! Yes I do agree I have written it a bit earlier and I have mentioned that in my article but what I really meant is that the hype and talks circulating around the wc seems to be like of 2003 Aussies . There is a difference in playing at home vs playing at other countries but if we do take that in account over the past decade I don’t remember any team dominating like this in a home wc. You go back to 2019 England Stumbled to win the 2019 wc. India didn’t quite dominate the 2011 wc but were good enough to win. Let’s see the t20 wc of last year where Australia were supposed to win the wc in a pretty dominating manner but instead got out in group stages. It’s a different kind of pressure when you are playing with a pressure of 1 billion people’s hope’s!!. South Africa do look like a team that has potential to defeat India but their gameplan of just batting first and winning pales in comparison of India where they can win batting first as well as bowling first as well

Exactly mate, completely agree with you. The concept retirement is that when you have announced it you won’t play for the team again but un-retiring it doesn’t really do justice to the team and its process. England supporters have to really question their team that do they have a good future? I mean they are still depending on Anderson and ofc Broad as well until he retired. England had to go back to a retired spinner moeen ali to take his retirement back because leach was injured and they didn’t trust anyone in their domestic circle. Says you a lot about county cricket these days
Why Stokes' decision to come back from ODI retirement lounge is a backward step for England
Hi Dave thanks for going through my article really appreciate it mate. I agree with all points of yours. I had written something else regarding this Indian bowling line up and kept it on the same level as the aussies of 2003 but i feel while editing they might have changed some lines of mine. For me they are on par with the bowling line up of aussies in 2003 the batting however hasn’t shown its full potential yet with lots of it depending on Sharma and Kohli
