Stokes vs Root

[PlayerComparisons]

1. Botham
2. Anderson
3. Stokes
4. Root
5. Pietersen
6. Boycott
7. Gower
8. Knott
9. Gooch
10. Willis
11. Underwood
12. Broad

That looks about right

 

[loterry1994]

I’d take stokes it’s just a shame he couldn’t bowl more later in his career cause of injuries.

 

[Adders]

He's not displacing anyone there in my opinion.

Cook had a way more valuable career for Eng than KP for a start.

Yeah he won England a series in both Australia and India and played like 60 more tests as an opener

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Cook had a way more valuable career for Eng than KP for a start.

Did he won the 2005 Ashes tho?

 

[PlayerComparisons]

No England selector in real life is taking KP’s career over Cooks career. Opener with 160 tests vs Middle order bat with 100 tests. No contest

 

[Adders]

Did he won the 2005 Ashes tho?

No. But he won the 10/11 Ashes.......in Australia though.

That was a spectacularly dumb post.

Did KP? No.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Did KP? No.

Yeah Flintoff > KP and Cook

No. But he won the 10/11 Ashes.......in Australia though.

You are calling me dumb and comparing 05 Aus team to 10 Aus team.

What do people rate higher, Cooks series in 10/11 or KPs series in 06/07

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not insignificant is not significant enough here

Probably bowls more than Stokes these days anyway

Cook. Winning performance for a start.

 

[Coronis]

Yeah Flintoff > KP and Cook

I thought this was a given?

Not really

Best ten England cricketers of the modern era (1970-) attempt

1) Botham
2) Root
3) Boycott
4) Anderson
5) Gooch
6) Stokes
7) Gower
8) Knott
9) Willis
10) KP

Wanted Snow in there but don't think he has the body of work if it's strictly 1970 onwards.

Edit: forgot Knott.

1. Botham
2. Anderson

Boycott might be a little too high. I would have KP ahead of Gower too.

Cook. Winning performance for a start.

Agreed. Cook definitely better in Australia.

Cook, not even close. Wasn't just the volume of runs, it's that a couple of his tons came in serious pressure situations too,the Brisbane one in particular.

Yeah, but Michael Vaughan 02/03 beats both. The greatest test series an Englishman has had since Botham in the 81 Ashes.

Cook’s was better but more importantly so was Flintoff’s 05

Vaughany's was better than Cook's for me. Better attack is the tiebreaker when they both smashed it. Flintoff 05 is one of the best alternatives though.
