Botham, Flintoff or Stokes

He needs to get his finger out with his batting, then.
Even Stuart Broad has a test match 100.
Botham for me..others aren't fit to tie his pads on....cooked his dinner umpteen times, once cooked a one clawed 7 and half pound lobster for him..nice bloke
He liked his bait.
On his charity walks, he had curries sent daily by motorbike courier from his favourite Indian restaurant in Doncaster.

Stokes still has a long career ahead of him. Freddie was a twat and could have been one of the best. Beefy was class but stokes will be the considered the greatest once his career is over and rightly so.

Botham - in his prime, a better batsman, bowler and catcher.
Stokes - pretty much on par with Beefy batting and fielding, but no where near bowling.
Fred - better bowler than Stokes, but his batting is the weakest of the three.

Flintoff will always be third. He did bowl the second best over I've ever seen to Jacques Kallis though.

Stokes is quality, but not on Botham's level imo . He seems to be a batsman these days. Botham destroyed teams with bat AND ball. Flintoff is a far off third imo. Good bowler, never produced enough with the bat

I think Botham was a truly world class bowler but I think his batting gets talked up a lot mind. Mainly cos of the 149* at Headingley.

It will be an interesting (and more fair) question once Stokes finishes playing.
With all due respect to Flintoff, I would say that Stokes is already comfortably ahead of him and Botham is in a different class altogether to Flintoff.

I know he's not in the same league but I still loved Freddie the daft bastard. But England's best ashes performance for me came without him or a genuine all rounder. 2010/11 in Aus

Very rare the Aussies play a genuine all-rounder.

I don't think they have ever had a world class one

Not since the 60's. On another thread someone mentioned Watson which I thought was a bit laughable.

He was ok for a few years, but once he started playing across the line he was knackered at test level.

Fighting - Flintoff has actually won a pro boxing match and not just dropped some drunk arsehole.
Although I do acknowledge the boxer Flintoff beat may have been as much use as a drunk arsehole
He has 14 test centuries to be fair
