I’d say stokes so far but i don’t think there’s a players that has fully stood out from the rest. A lot of people had good fivefers or century’s but also had poor performances in between other tests.
Stokes decorations weren’t good though the first test I just didn’t understand why stop when they could have had say a 60 run lead at least. This tests declaration I don’t blame him for it they did pretty much all they can do to force a result and bowled aus out for an under par total and then they came out and scored at near 6 an over.
But thought day 2 last hour when they decided to block it and also day 3 when people were getting closer to milestones he could of declared it 1 hour before lunch with a 150-170 run lead and have more time to bowl them out

It's been a weird series..Nobody really stands out. 2-2 would be fitting ..
Basically it's the series of the Bench Strength ..
Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Marsh improved Aus massively , Chris Woakes and Mark Wood upgraded England in a huge way aswell..
If Aus win 3-1 I really don't know what the adjudicator of the award will do , if Stokes performs again in the final test I would have to give to him even if England lose 3-1 ..

Agreed, key to Australia winning the first 2 Tests before switching sides and performing well for England.
There's a few in the running, it'll depend who makes the difference at the Oval.
For England, Broad's been the best bowler over 5 tests. Woakes and Wood have come in late but have made a bigger impact. Stokes played great innings at Lords and Headingley, if Creepy makes decent scores he'll have a case.
For Australia, it's probably between Khawaja and Starc, if Marsh has another good game, then maybe him.
If there was no more play in the series, I might say Woakes for England and Starc for Australia.

Although, OT showed that those who have effectively played 5 Tests on the bounce (him and Cummins) are seemingly running on empty. I'd rest Broad at The Oval. Cummins clearly doesn't get that option.
