chewy Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Had doubts about him, but match winner, world.cup.winner!! We.keep comparing Pandya to him, I know Pandya doesn't bat as high, but Pandya got.nothing.on Stokes. You want to be considered half.decent then emulate some of the guts Stokes shows.in England colours Hopefully this WC 2019.puts to rest any special expectations from Pandya. Btw, even Hardik Pandya's.poistion in the team.is up.for debate cowboysfan 1 Link to comment

I am not sure if Stokes is MoT but he was by far the best middle order batsman in the WC. His bowling was mostly invisible though. Link to comment

Stokes has been nurtured well by Eng, which Ind did not do with Pandya. However, I reckon that Stokes still has a much more complete game than Pandu with the bat; in ODIs, they are comparable with the ball. Link to comment

He is constantly improving, one of the reasons why I want him to play in more formats Edited July 14, 2019 by zen Link to comment

Of course, there is some age diff and Pandu has less experience in domestics. let's see how the next few yrs go. Link to comment

There is no comparison as they are not direct competitors. Both bat at different positions and both have different roles. Link to comment

Stokes in form, plays well under pressure, and many will pick him over any Indian player currently Vijy 1 Link to comment

Stokes could have done that because Stokes has experience of Batting in such situations. Pandya is essentially there to play some quickfire cameos. Though at 24/4, I don't think even Stokes could have done that. Link to comment
Adi BB Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Easily, most clutch knock in the world cup finals ever ! Single handedly pulled England to victory ! From the choker of 2016 to the winner of the real cup ,hats off ! SK_IH and ThePhenomenal1 2 Link to comment

Would have still required the likes of Greybeard to hold an end up and someone like Jaddu to deliver the finishing blows. What I meant to say is that he could have played better than Pandu and thereby enabled us to win that SF. Anyway, it's a moot point since we can only make do with what we have. Link to comment
beetle Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 If India can take lessons from the English overhauling of their LOI cricket...that would be enough. Kronadler, zen and ThePhenomenal1 2 1 Link to comment
