Greatest players full stop - his test innings haven’t been bad either! |

His overall record is actually really not all that in any format, but he's just the absolute man for a final or a clutch moment. He's Didier Drogba, rather than Cristiano Ronaldo. And I love him for that. What a game, feel hugely for Shaheen getting injured there because that was going to the wire. |

Agreed. Just one of those rare sportsmen who seem to love the pressure. |

Stokes is very good & time will tell where he fits in with the greats
There is always a bit of recency bias when looking at current players

This is just my opinion, but I think greatness should be defined by what you’ve achieved, not how ‘technically’ good you are. I’d say Stokes has already achieved greatness just on the back of his exploits three years ago and this morning. A bit like how Muhammad Ali is the ‘greatest’ despite not being the ‘best’. Know what I mean? |

Simply wonderful sporting fixtures this weekend in this of the World with differing results.
Firstly the womans Rugby world cup final. Totally fantastic played with great skill and was wonderful and an example of how sport was meant to be played.
Then followed 24 hours later by a superb game of 20 over cricket.
The result of both games could have gone either way
Credit to all players and everyone involved
Wonderful entertainment.
