Shakib Al Hasan vs Ben Stokes vs Jason Holder - the best all-rounder today?

[bujhee kom]

Who do you regard as the best of the 3 in Tests and ODIs respectively?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If we consider all formats I would say Stokes easily. He’s probably the greatest cricketer in the world right now according to me

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Just as I typed that he bowled an unplayable delivery to give England a chance

 

[marlonbrowndo]

In Tests I would say

Stokes
Holder
Shakib

In LOIs I would say

Stokes
Shakib
Holder

You also have to consider the magic that stokes brings in the field

 

[Rajdeep]

Stokes
Shakib
Holder

In the above order.

Shakib seems finished in Test. He doesn't seem interested in Test cricket.

ODI:

Stokes
Shakib
Holder

Test:

Holder
Stokes
Shakib.

Given Shakib seems to have finished his journey in tests, perhaps it is best judge him by the body of his work.

I think Shakib is not even among top 5 in Test (all-rounders). Rashid Khan is more effective than him currently.

Having said that, Shakib is still a force in T20 and ODI.

You can add Jadeja as well.

 

[bujhee kom]

Outside of India, is he an allrounder in the true sense? I have my doubts. But sure, include him.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

They are all very fine players. For me its difficult to judge in tests as despite being allrounders they are different types of players.

Holder is a main bowler and useful bat. Stokes is a batsman and partnership breaker type of bowler and Shakib is a genuine all rounder.

In limited overs its a lot easier to judge. Stokes is head and shoulders above the other two.

idk it's a very close thing
holders bowling in the last few years has been mo asif crossed with glenn mcgrath, whereas stokes cant really bowl and his action is a dead ringer for like ricky ponting or some other part timer. but then holder cant really bat
i would say holder has the stronger cricket brain though, batting first in dampshire under thick grey skies was an idiotic decision
ultimately they are both very good cricketers

 

[Rayyman]

Stokes in Tests, Imad in ODIs

 

[sweep_shot]

Stokes in Tests, Imad in ODIs

Imad? What?

Are you saying Imad Wasim is a better ODI all-rounder than Stokes?

 

[Justcrazy]

Stokes is at his peak right now. He may not be consistent , but has capacity to win match with bothe bat and ball.

 

[Ab Fan]

Stokes because he is much better than his stats. Take wickets whenever mattered. He is a match winner in his weaker suit as well. Heading to ATG status.

Holder is very good also. Similar to Heath Streak.

Shakib is better in ODIs than in tests but will go down as country great in tests as well.

Jadeja is very good as well. He has more capability with bat but hasn't shown enough yet.

 

[Ab Fan]

Outside of India, is he an allrounder in the true sense? I have my doubts. But sure, include him.

Admittedly in a way, a HTB. But they have a place among very good cricketers as well. Jadeja averages 30 away with bat and 34 with bowl away, so his away numbers are Vettori-esque.

Ben Stokes. Everyone raving about Holder and rightly so but he is nothing special in LO hence he doesn't get as much hype.
