Just heard on TS that Stokes and Morgan agreed before the final over that 6 yorkers was the way to go.
The problem was that he bowled the 1st ball effectively down the leg side and on a length and this was food and drink to Brathwaite.
After that, the momentum was with the batsman.
From my own experience albeit at a lower level and a while ago, the problem with yorkers is that it's such a fine line between the perfect one and a half volley.
None of the balls Stokes bowled looked like yorkers to me; if anything, they looked like length balls, otherwise Brathwaite wouldn't have been albeit to get any elevation.
(Stokes said that at least 2 of the deliveries 'felt' like yorkers as they came out of his hand)
But I'm not blaming Stokes for the defeat; sometimes even when you give it your best shot, it's the other guy's day.
Below, I've put a link to my Blog website's Facebook page and it comments on the last over whilst also linking back with a post I wrote back in 2013 when discovering the sad death of Surrey's David Thomas at the young age of 52.
Way back in 1979 when he was breaking into Surrey's team, he played a club match for Beaconsfield against my club Finchley and late in Beaconsfield's innings, he came in and hit me for 19 in one over, effectively winning the game for his club.
As close as could be, this was my own personal 'Stokes' over.
It was a humiliating experience that's for sure, made worse by him calling me 'a bread and butter bowler' afterwards, something I always felt was a bit unnecessary.
Also, I may have been a bread and butter bowler to him but he was effectively playing down a standard taking part in club games when really he was a young county player.
No-one else in club cricket ever did that to me, thankfully, including Middlesex's Wilf Slack when playing for Southgate and Surrey's Duncan Pauline and Nigel Ross, both of which I got out LBW when they were turning out for East Molesey.
But I'm protesting too much; he was a very good player and made a good career for himself in County cricket. If there was one guy to hit you all over the park, in some ways, you'd expect it to be someone like Thomas.
However, also, club cricket wasn't always the friendliest of environments in those days with a very hierarchical culture in lots of clubs, especially the ones higher up the pecking order which Finchley most definitely was.
It was often a dog-eat-dog environment despite all the banter between the lads and all the time spent together playing, drinking and eating late night curries!
It was often far more likely that the older, better, more experienced players of both teams would end up in little groups / cliques as opposed to the mingling with the youngsters in their own teams.
Nonetheless, I'd still do it all again if I had the chance;
