Steve Harmison says England’s Headingley saint Ben Stokes can be contrasted with Andrew Flintoff as he has “the greatest heart going”.
In any case, Harmison claims his previous Durham colleague has gone above and beyond than Flintoff following his splendid Leeds century.
Stirs composed his name into the history books with an epic thump in the third Ashes Test as England crushed Australia by a solitary wicket.
The England all-rounder made 135 not out to convey the hosts over the line and level the arrangement, making 74 of his keeps running in a staggering tenth wicket association of 76 with Jack Leach.
Feeds was promptly contrasted with past Ashes greats, including Flintoff, a key individual from the 2005 winning side.
Be that as it may, Harmison, who played with both, recommends Stokes’ practically solitary endeavors mean his innings must position above anything delivered by Flintoff or others.
“Ben helps me to remember Freddie so much in light of the fact that the most grounded trademark they have is they have the greatest heart going,” Harmison told the Telegraph.
He included: “Yet while Freddie was the gem in the crown of an awesome group, Ben has quite recently without any help spared an Ashes arrangement for England.
“Freddie adjusted the books in 2005, he gave us a center request that could remove the game from the restriction and he gave us a bonus with the ball. In any case, without Ben, the Ashes were gone, the urn was remaining in Australia.
“What Ben did on Sunday I don’t think will ever be beaten. No one in their correct personality was supporting England to win after they were bowled out for 67.
“They were beaten, however now they are in a situation to win the Ashes. Ben did that. His colleagues need to win it for him now.
“I’ve never observed an innings like that from anybody, ever. I take a gander at what Kevin Pietersen did in 2005 at The Oval, that got us over the line in the last round of an Ashes arrangement, however what Ben did, you won’t see anything like that once more.”
