Top 5 number 6 England Test batsmen of all time

#3 Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes

Although he made his Test debut for England in only 2017, all-rounder Ben Stokes is already seems destined for greatness and in the 39 Test matches that he has played so far, he has shown that his presence at number 6 is a huge plus for the team. The left-handed batsman has the technique to combat seam, swing and genuinely quick bowling, while on the other hand, he is a merciless stroke-maker.

Stokes can take on any bowling attack and tear it to shreds when he is in form and over his short career, he has decided Test matches through his scintillating batting. He has played at number 6 in 33 games and has already made 2176 runs at an average of 40.29. He has made 6 centuries and 11 half-centuries and is well placed to be England's most prolific number 6 by the time he ends his career.
