Stokes for me despite '81 The young Botham, before his back went, was the best all round player England has ever had....Botham hit the road running as a great player and only injury and age diminished him. Flintoff took a few years before he really became a bowling threat and with Stokes he seems to be developing more as a batting all rounder now. Difficult to separate Flintoff and Stokes....but I'd rate these three great English all rounders thus: Botham Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Aug 2019 6.23pm)

Would be interesting to see people’s top three bowlers and how that list compares to the top three batsman. Archer has potential to be one of the best we’ve ever had. Speed and fear factor. Nice combo. Edited by Bekken (26 Aug 2019 6.27pm)

Botham won a series and so did Flintoff really. Stokes has won a test more or less single handedly - can he win the series?

I remember watching Flintoff and Ben Hollioake batting for an under 19 England side before fame and tragedy.

Botham was the best bowler. Stokes the best batsman.

Anyway, I don't think Hollioake would have gotten into the Australian side of the time and he died in Perth. Tragic. Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Aug 2019 7.36pm)

Flintoff the best drinker. Though Bothan might argue that one.
