[PlayerComparisons]

Hayden, a 50 averaging opener batsman who has performed in Asia.

Hayden. Not sure if it's close or not.

 

[Johan]

close, going Stokes here as I think he is more clutch.

Stokes is saving test cricket as captain so I voted for him

Big Dos

Hayden but strokes is equally good

Hayden but strokes is equally good

Then why did you vote they aren't close???

 

[Fuller Pilch]

There is too much recency bias if anyone votes for Stokes. Hayden in the early 2000s was such a dominant opener. The presence he had was incredible.

That Australian side made everyone cry in the 2000's and Hayden was a big part of that in both formats , any series win against them was immortalised.

Yeah I think both were/are gun but slightly overrated. Not sure which way to vote but it's definitely close. Leaning Stokes at the moment I think.
