Stokes seemed to be carrying an injury in the IPL from what i saw. He only bowled two overs yesterday and the [relatively] simple catch he dropped seems to all go to show hes not 100%. A simple three game series I might rest him for the last game but with the tournament coming up immediately on its heels i think they may leave him out for games two and three. We will see.
Stokes is very much needed in the tournament, so they should be protecting him.
If anyone looking for a cricket fix this weekend there are three ICC trophy warm up games at Edgbaston this weekend with:Bangladesh v Pakiston Saturday 27/05Australia v Pakistan Bank Holiday monday 29/05New Zealand v Sri Lanka Tuesday 30thAll of these games commence at10:30 and is free admission to Bears members and are only £10 or £15 to public which is great value,and just £1 for U16's.I will certainly be going Mon & Tue especially if sun out. There are a few isolated showers but.....still worth it.
