Dominic Cork says Ben Stokes absence from the rest of the series against Sri Lanka is a big blow to the player and England. Nike Air Max 97 On Sale . Stokes will miss out on playing at his county home ground of Emirates Riverside on Friday, as well as the third and final Test at Lords on June 9, after aggravating a knee injury in Englands first-Test win at HeadingleyEngland will miss him, everything about him, said Sky Sports pundit Cork said of Stokes, who underwent surgery on Tuesday. Not just his batting, or his bowling. You cant just pick out one thing, thats why theyre called all-rounders.He is an excellent cricketer. His ability - up there with the very best. He can change the game, and not just with one aspect. Ben Stokes celebrates scoring a double hundred for England against South Africa in Cape Town Look at what he did in the winter against South Africa, with that magnificent double century at Cape Town; and the Ashes last year, with that superb catch at Trent Bridge - he is a difference maker.Its a massive blow, because he has been one of the main reasons why Englands Test cricket has gone well of late, although given how poor Sri Lanka have been, its perhaps not as big a hole to fill for England as it usually would be.But you dont want to miss out on games, it doesnt matter who youre playing against and its a big blow for Stokes personally, especially coming off the back of the disappointment of the last over of the World T20. Ben Stokes is consoled by England T20 captain Eoin Morgan after defeat in the World T20 final Chris Woakes has been picked as Stokes replacement in the squad, with the Warwickshire man celebrating his call-up by taking an astonishing 9-36 in his sides Spescavers County Championship game with Durham.Cork believes Woakes can fill in adequately if England chose him over the extra bowler in the squad, Nottinghamshires Jake Ball.Theyre big shoes to fill, said Cork. But I dont think there was anyone else other than Woakes they could have picked at the moment. He was the obvious choice. Chris Woakes has been among the wickets for Warwickshire before joining up with England Its all about consistency of selection - Woakes has been around the England side in one-day cricket or Tests for a while.He isnt a like-for-like replacement, because I dont think hes as good a cricketer. But he is a gutsy player, who perhaps has a point to prove, having only played six Test matches. Some say he doesnt bowl quick enough, but thats a load of rubbish. I genuinely believe he has got ability, and if he gets the nod ahead of Ball, Im sure hed do a job and be successful. That will be Englands decision, they might decide it is time to see what Ball can do, but for the balance of the side, Woakes would be my choice at the moment.Stokes is a big miss, but no matter who you lose as a side, you have to adapt. Its not the end of the world for this England side without Stokes. Its just without him, theyll have to work that little bit harder.Watch England take on Sri Lanka in the second Test at, live on Sky Sports 2 from 10am on Friday.

No surprise there. Kershaw, who also earned the title after throwing his first career no-hitter in June, had a 1. http://www.cheapairmax97fromchina.com/cheap-air-max-97-grey-china/ . -- Billy Andrade hasnt played much competitive golf over the past four years.When it comes to LeBron James, all thats certain is this: One fan base is about to feel scorned, and other is about to feel absolute joy. Miami or Cleveland? The same choice he faced four years ago is the one facing the four-time NBA MVP now. He became a champion in Miami. He still calls Ohio home. Its obviously not an easy decision, and the ramifications of what hes about to say -- its still unclear when any announcement will be coming, but its more than likely sooner than later -- will have a massive impact on the Heat and the Cavaliers. For the Heat, keeping James is likely the only way they can stay a championship-contending team for a fifth straight season next year. If he stays, it would seem likely that Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh would re-sign with Miami as well, keeping the "Big 3" that has played in each of the last four NBA Finals intact for at least another season. For the Cavaliers, its a chance to welcome home the player who fans -- and the teams owner Dan Gilbert -- directed so much scorn toward when he left in 2010 after seven brilliant seasons. James left Las Vegas late Thursday, two people close to the situation told The Associated Press. One of those people said James and Wade were flying together to Miami, and that James would be continuing on from there for his long-planned trip to Brazil for the World Cup finals. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because none of the details were revealed publicly. Earlier Thursday, James again appeared at his skills academy for the nations top high school and college players, scrimmaging and then watching games in the afternoon with some friends, including Wade. Meanwhile, in Bath Township, Ohio, cars lined the streets near James 30,000-square-foot mansion in anticipation of an announcement. People posed for photographs and TV news crews did remote reports from the driveway of his off-season home. ------ As he makes his choice, heres some things he may be considering about returning to Cleveland: BUSINESS HEADQUARTERS: Northeast Ohio is where James and his close friends grew up. He has business interests in the Cleveland area. He and his LRMR agency recently signed popular college quarterback Johnny Manziel to a marketing deal. Manziel now plays for the Browns. YOUNG ROSTER: Although the Cavaliers havent made the playoffs since he left, they can offer James a young roster filled with potential and promise. Theyre led by All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, who recently agreed to sign a five-year contract extension, and the Cavs also have two other No. 1 overall draft picks in Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins. COACHING STAFF: Clevelands coaching situaation could be a concern. Cheap Air Max 97 All Black China. The Cavs are on their third coach since James left and the team recently hired David Blatt, an international icon but someone who has not coached in the U.S. before. The Cavs did hire well-respected assistant Tyronn Lue, who has a strong relationship with James. CAVS ASSETS: The Cavs have assets they could trade to bring another elite player to Cleveland and have had preliminary talks with Minnesota about a deal for forward Kevin Love. OWNER: The biggest obstacle in James possible return could be his relationship with Gilbert. In the hours after James left four years ago, Gilbert blistered James in a scathing letter to Cleveland fans. In an AP interview that same night, Gilbert said James quit during the playoffs. ------ And while James has strong ties to Ohio, he has also forged them in Miami. PROVEN WINNERS: Instead of potential, the Heat are proven champions. James has been to four straight NBA Finals with Miami, winning two championships. They have made good on the promise Heat President Pat Riley made to James four years ago: Come to Miami, be part of something special, and compete for titles every year. COACHING STAFF: There hasnt been turnover in Miamis coaching staff and front office since James joined the Heat. Hes played for just one coach, Erik Spoelstra, and Riley has championship pedigree. OWNER: Unlike the situation with Gilbert, theres no rancour with Heat owner Micky Arison. The Heat have preached a family approach to everything, even allowing members of James inner circle access to the locker room and other team areas -- no minor thing within the framework of the Heat culture. BIG 3: James came to Miami in large part to play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, both of whom also are free agents. Its hard to envision Bosh staying if James leaves. Its easy to see both Wade and Bosh recommitting instantly, if James decides to stay in Miami. MIAMI INVESTMENTS: His wife has a juice bar in the Brickell neighbourhood of Miami and James is said to be investing in a chain of pizza restaurants coming soon to South Florida. He doesnt have Miami roots, but hes created ties to South Florida nonetheless. ------ Its easy to see why James is torn. Whether it was one of Gilberts planes coming to South Florida, or movers packing up James luxury cars from his Coconut Grove, Florida home, or reports that a cupcake shop in Ohio had heard from people that James had already decided to return to Cleveland, any nugget of information sets the rumour mill into overdrive. But his camp says he has all the information needed to make a decision. The ball is now in LeBron James hands. ' ' '
