Id ask why Marsh wasnt given overs when Stokes was going, everything he has been touching has turned to gold and his forte is short format cricket which is essentially what is being played now.
England cant expect a banged up Stokes to carry the team and I wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt play the next test if the Ashes are lost. He cant keep playing these whirlwind innings and is due for a low score soon, he played a tired sore shot to get out and even when he was dropped I didnt put it down to great bowling more him being forced to play big shots to try and get England some runs as the rest of his batsmen were contributing nothing and getting out.
We should win this test comfortably imo and we have the potential for a clean sweep if Stokes doesnt play again this series...
