Stokes scored 182 against New Zealand on Wednesday‘He’s an unbelievable cricketer … it’s great for our confidence’
Ben Stokes’ record-shattering innings in Wednesday’s ODI against New Zealand has been described by his teammate Chris Woakes as further evidence that he is “a superhuman who can do incredible things”.
Woakes said the 32-year-old was powered to his score of 182, the highest by an Englishman in the format, by the relief of playing without the burden of captaincy, and by the welcome he has received from England’s band of brothers, a squad largely unchanged from the one that won the World Cup with Stokes at its heart in 2019.
