Stokes Being In Same Category Alongside Kallis And Sobers Is Phenomenal Achievement, Says Hussain
Sir Garfield Sobers: Former England captain Nasser Hussain said Ben Stokes being placed alongside Jacques Kallis and Sir Garfield Sobers in an exclusive all-rounders club of taking 200 wickets and scoring 6,000 runs in Test cricket is a phenomenal achievement for the side’s current captain.
On day two of England’s ongoing Test against the West Indies at Lord’s, Stokes trapped West Indies batter Kirk McKenzie lbw to become just the third player after Sobers and Kallis to do the double of scalping 200 wickets and amassing 6,000 runs in Test cricket.
"Some that played against Sobers would tell you he was the best player they had seen as a batter alone. Stokes being in that category alongside them is a phenomenal achievement and the fact he is bowling again is so positive for England, because it provides this team with balance," wrote Hussain in his column for Daily Mail.
