Stokes declared early in 1st Test.
Now he is delaying declaration.

A burnt child dreads the fire.
This is just Stokes being gunshy now. Declaration wouldn't be a bad choice now actually, given the forecast and the fact that you almost have a 200 ****ing run lead. Even 30, 40 odds runs ago would have been miles better than the 1st Test declaration decision.

Interesting stat that Broad has a 1000 runs v Australia

how many did the likes of McGrath , Gillespie , Lee,Hughes, Alderman, Lillee , Johnson get against England ?

Broad has played twice as many tests as most of those, what would you expect?

Lol at comparing McGrath’s batting to anyone’s other than Chris Martin
Lol at how a batsmen as poor as Broad has over 1000 v Australia

how many did McGrath get, or Gillespie, or Johnson

I know Broad has 100s of wickets more, but would love to see how runs comparable bowlers have ?

lol
