Pent up anger.

He's probably raging after being fined for asking that reporter out on telly.

Or more likely gutted she blew him out.

Just seen a comparison between Stokes and Botham after 22 matches. Bothams stats are crazy good 4 tons & 3 50's with the bat and two 10 wicket hauls and twelve 5 wicket hauls.

Important knock this from Ali

All out 342 trail by 133 runs, thought it was going to be a lot worse than that

It's not even as if he was backing up excessively either - he took him out in his delivery slide, yet there was only a millimetre or two in it. Disgraceful behaviour.
