Look, England's batting depth proved itself when the middle order stepped up-that's not luck, that's squad planning working as intended. Stokes missing a match doesn't invalidate a solid start when others deliver.

England's depth in middle order actually proves the squad building strategy worked without Stokes. Isn't early performance under pressure the real test of genuine team resilience?

Everyone's overblowing Stokes' absence like England would've collapsed without him, but honestly their batting depth showed they don't need one player carrying the load.

England's depth bench just proved Stokes isn't their entire personality, but sure, keep pretending one bloke carries a whole team's personality like he's a one-man Marvel franchise.
