I beg to differ mate. Stokes fitness has been anything but fine for the last few years. And,we've won one match....ffs....he doesn't have to do much to be more successful than anyone else in the last 15 years. I'm not saying he should be sacked......what I am saying is that a 5 day red ball squad needs to be better assembled for a Test match series to Australia. Players need to be fit,and,just as importantly,match fit,both physically and mentally. I don't care how talented he is,but if you're Harry Brook and you're charging down the pitch to full pitch bowling or trying to play a reverse sweep every time you get a slower ball,you're not good enough for Test match cricket. Time for the England team management to wake up.
