Career threads

Beyond the numbers

A genuine all-rounder across 331 matches

Stokes has accumulated 12,704 runs and 384 wickets across all formats in 331 appearances. That combination of a 34.43 batting average and a 33.44 bowling average is rare at international and franchise level.

Headingley is his happiest hunting ground

In 15 matches at Headingley, Stokes averages 54.88 with the bat. He has also taken 17 wickets there at an economy of 3.95, making it the venue where both disciplines fire most consistently.

79 wickets and 2,323 runs against Australia

Stokes has faced Australia in 50 matches, scoring 2,323 runs at 33.19 and claiming 79 wickets at an economy of 4.30. Those are his joint-highest wicket tallies against any single opponent.

Test cricket is where the numbers are strongest

His Test bowling average of 31.24 and economy of 3.34 across 119 matches comfortably outperform his returns in other formats. The batting average of 35.37 in Tests also sits above his ODI and T20 figures.

Five-wicket hauls a recent feature

Four of his last ten matches have produced three or more wickets, including a 5/41 against Australia at Perth and a 6/105 against India at Old Trafford. The bowling has been the more consistent contributor over that stretch.
