Ben Stokes ton sees Durham beat Nottinghamshire - chairman - 08-12-2014
Ben Stokes' first One-Day Cup century of the season helped Durham beat Nottinghamshire by six wickets.
The England all-rounder made 103 and shared a 150-run third-wicket partnership with Mark Stoneman (86), as Durham chased down the target of 223.

Good for him! He's a handy allrounder and good to see him perform. IDK if he's good enough to play tests - probably not - however he could be more than handy in shorter formats.

I hope Ben Stokes does not get discarded from the scheme of things by England. He has the potential to be a genuine all rounder. His bowling is much better than Chris Woakes in my opinion and he has the batting talent to hold his place as a batsman alone in the team. England will be pleased to have this headache on their hands.

I agree, Kyle. I think Stokes may well end up being better suited to the shorter formats though I would much prefer Stokes than Woakes in the Test team.

I hope Stokes doesn't end up like a Graeme Hick or Mark Ramprakash. County bullies but Test pu$$ies. 8)

You'd prefer Stokes over Woakes? Woakes is pretty good actually. And he seems to be better in both departments to me. And he deserves a good crack at tests before being dismissive. He's got impressive stats to back him.
