What has Ben Stokes done in test matches outside England as an all-rounder?


Recommended Posts

Zero. Got a useless 250 on a patta in RSA where both sides scored 700. Useless 100 in Perth, match where his team was crushed. Nothing in SC, only humiliations in WI. Did ok enough with bat in NZ but Eng lost that series comfortably. 

 

When it comes to test performances outside home, Shardul Thakur the AR has a better legacy. Never mind an ATG like Jadeja.

He was an England great due to being very good with bat and good with bowl. But now that he doesn't bowl, his batting is just good enough to be in the team and captaincy is certainly refreshing.

 

In terms of performance, he doesn't have anything memorable to note in Australia and India. He has great record in South Africa and that's just about it when it comes to performance away from home. A clutch know with bat in T20 World Cup Final.

Stokes is the greatest allrounder of this generation. There is no one close to him.He is an asset in all formats.

 

Injuries have caught up with him otherwise he would have been just fine with ball .

 

No everyone can be Ian Botham.

Sir Jaddu is the greatest AR of modern test cricket. Don't confuse formats.

No he is not, he is not even close to Stokes. Don't get confused with Jadeja just because he is Indian.

This is absurd - Jadeja is the biggest(luckiest?) match winner post 2k in tests, at least in terms of W/L ratio & no one's close to him!

Having Ashwin by his side has helped him greatly, also Ashwin's benefitted just as well. Now admittedly the numbers can be a bit skewed depending on your "bias" but against top 8 sides he has a W/L ratio of almost 3:1 while the next best is probably Ashwin & he's primarily a bowler these days :om:

The only one with a positive W/L to his name :bow:

The problem with Stokes is that he's been far too inconsistent with bat/bowl anywhere including in Eng - now some would say that's just the way he plays but it's a convenient excuse to basically ignore his shortcoming or poor performances in tests! Jadeja on the other hand has been a consistent batter even on square turners in India lower down the order - his closest competitor this gen is Ashwin, or Shakib if you include minnows, not overrated Headingly "miracle" (DRS) winner Stokes :laugh:

Undoubtedly. But which are his notable performances outside England in tests?

Everytime you see England in a situation where team needs him to rise up to the ocassion outside England, you would see commentators talking about his capabilities which would never translate into actual performance.

On what basis?

 

Ashwin only plays when Jadeja is injured.

That's only happened since 2020/21 - even till 2019 Oz tour Ashwin was the preferred A/R - heck Jadeja played just 1 test in 2018 Eng tour& none in SA :whack3:

 

He was at his absolute peak then, they really should've tried both of them more often over Sobers lite!

In 2020 NZ tour, Jadeja played a test ahead of Ashwin.

 

So, it is 4 years now since Jadeja is playing ahead of Ashwin. He has left Ashwin in the dust as far as meriting a place in Indian team outside Asia is concerned.

Right & that's why I said 2020-21 it referred to the years not cricket season.

Barely 4 years now - in that time he's also missed SA series twice(?) due to injuries.

4 years is not barely. I don't think there is any debate on Jadeja 's place in the team.
