Another thread ....

Jadeja isn't even as good as Tom Hartley, England's third best current all-rounder

Jadeja v Botham would probably be a closer comparison

I would have taken Stokes' bowling over Jadeja's batting before Stokes could no longer bowl because of a chronic injury. But Jadeja's bowling is better than Stokes' batting by a larger margin.

There’s already a thread for this

Ben Stokes vs Ravindra Jadeja

Probably the two best all rounders of the modern era after Shakib. Who do you rate higher?

So the Stokes vs Jadeja perception has changed significantly in two years

It's kinda a bad bias, but thinking of Stokes bowling I always gets reminded of the T20 WC Final over..

Haha. Slot ball six, slot ball six. Think generally Stokes did fairly well with the ball. Could sometimes come on and just get smashed, but he often took big wickets with the old ball and was willing to bowl long spells in unfavourable conditions. Valuable for any side, but not least one that could lack an X factor with the older ball. Got some menacing swing at home and has big performances abroad.

Not quite nailing his stronger suit (batting) while still being decent at it is what hurts him more imo.

Current is Jadeja easily. It's close career wise.

This is for career

Jadeja v Sobers will be even closer.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Jadeja v Sobers will be even closer.

And Jadeja vs Bradman will be the closest.... But ofcourse, Jadeja will win.

Yea big difference. Maybe since Stokes doesn’t bowl much anymore.

 

[BazBall21]

Jadeja was very arguably ahead before Stokes stopped bowling anyway but long sustainability is very hard for pace all rounders.

I had Jadeja ahead before Stokes stopped bowling anyway but long sustainability is very hard for pace all rounders.

Good point. Can’t really expect a pacer to play as long as a spinner.
