Rhodes' career-best keeps Durham unbeaten after Stokes duck

Durham's performance in the One-Day Cup has been impressive so far, with many attributing their success to the presence of England star Ben Stokes. However, their latest match has demonstrated that they have a strong team beyond Stokes, with Will Rhodes delivering a career-best performance to help them stay unbeaten.

Rhodes' innings is significant not only for his personal achievement but also for the team's ability to adapt to different situations. With Stokes being dismissed for a duck, the pressure was on the rest of the team to step up, and Rhodes did just that. This bodes well for Durham's prospects in the tournament, as they look to make a deep run.

As the One-Day Cup continues, it will be interesting to see how Durham's squad depth holds up against stronger opponents. With teams likely to focus on exploiting weaknesses beyond Stokes, Rhodes and others will need to continue performing consistently. Additionally, fans will be eager to see how Stokes bounces back from a rare duck, and whether he can lead the team to further victories.
