BEN STOKES TAKES FLINTOFF TAG IN HIS STRIDE
LONDON: Ben Stokes is flattered by comparisons with former England captain Andrew Flintoff but would prefer forging his own path, the all-rounder has said. Stokes was adjudged player of the match as England beat South Africa by 239 runs in the third Test at the Oval to go 2-1 up in the four-match series. “It’s always nice being compared to that guy and some of the spells he produced for England were amazing to watch. But I am not trying to be anyone other than myself,” said Stokes.
