Five current Test batsmen who would have succeeded against fast bowlers of the 90s era
Often we have seen, fans, as well as former cricketers, allude that the 1990s was one the most difficult era for batting.
3. Ben Stokes
The 2013-14 Ashes turned out to be a nightmare- best forgotten- for an English fan. Their famed batting unit was ripped into tatters by the hostility of Mitchell Johnson, but amidst all the ruins, the one opposite that they got was the emergence of Benjamin Stokes.
Stokes announced his arrival to the international scene with a brilliant fourth innings hundred on a fiery WACA pitch. Since then, the southpaw to proceeded to become the bedrock of the Test side
One of the biggest quality of Stokes is he has all gears to his batting die can dug out a hostile spell of fast bowling; he can play a waiting game when the opposition bowlers are on top, while at the same time he has the ability to tee into them, after having weathered the storm- a skill that he showed so brilliantly during the Headingley Test against Australia.
Stokes can possibly play at every gear according to the situation of the game, something that would have kept him in good stead even in the 1990s.
