Ben Stokes

[tweaker]

Ben Stokes has again done justice to the tag of all rounder by claiming 4 Bangladeshi wickets & scoring 85 runs when his side was in trouble.

 

He can be a trouble in both batting & bowling when England plays test series in India.

Cook  praised the all-rounder and said that he was the deciding factor in the first Test match. Cook said "The guy is that X-factor cricketer that every side would love to have. He balances our side and gives us options.“He allows us to play the extra seamer here or the extra spinner."

 Stokes was adjudged as man of the match for picking up 6 wickets in the match and scoring a crucial knock of 85 runs in the second innings.Cook said that he was extremely delighted with Stokes's approach against the spin bowlers in the tour so far. "The one thing he has done over the last year is improve his method against spin. In the one-dayers, it surprised me how well he scored that hundred and it gave me a lot of confidence. It showed what a load of hard work can do and he takes a lot of credit from that," he said.

Trevor Bayliss believes Ben Stokes could develop into one of the "all-time best allrounders" following his Man-of-the-Match performance in Chittagong.

Bayliss, the England coach, made the comments after Stokes helped seal victory with 103 runs and six wickets in the match. Bayliss was particularly impressed with Stokes' improvement against spin bowling on the sort of low, slow pitches on which he has struggled in the past.

 

Coming to the crease in the second innings with England precariously placed on 46 for 4, Stokes compiled 85 in just over three hours with his trademark power complemented by some tight defence and mature rotation of the strike. He also gained reverse swing and generated impressive pace on a sluggish surface.

 

"He could be right up there with some of the all-time best allrounders," Bayliss said. "He's young into his career and that's going to be easier to judge the longer he goes. Only time will tell.

"But the strides he's made on the subcontinent playing spin have been top class. It wasn't all that long ago we were wondering how he might go on spin-friendly wickets, but he's a guy that works extremely hard in the nets.

Stokes Woakes Bairstow and Ali. India needs to study all 4 as a proper batsman and create plan A and plan B and plan C.

Its these 4 guys who most likely will outscore top 4 English batsmen.

India tour will either finish his career or make him a finished product!
