England’s one of the most accomplished players Allan Lamb took out his precious time to join Cricket Addictor in an exclusive interview. During the period of quarantine, several athletes have engaged in a Question and answer session in the social media. Among the many questions that the England batsman entertained, Allan Lamb named four players from the current generation, who he would pay to watch.

The 65-year old named Kane Williamson, Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, and Ben Stokes in that category. All the players mentioned above have accomplished unparalleled feats so far ever since their debut. Lamb was particularly all praise for Smith, hailing his hand-eye co-ordination. He went on to say that his unique stance at the crease is lovely to watch and works best for him. To conclude, he picked all-rounder Ben Stokes, who has hit the purple patch of late.
Even as the New South Wales batsman spent a year without professional cricket, he almost single-handedly made Australia win the Ashes series in England. Smith accumulated 774 runs across four Tests at an astounding average of 110. His best score of 211 came at the fourth Test in Manchester.
“Yeah, you know you give me Kohli, Williamson, and Smith – unbelievable player. I mean, Smith to me, incredible, the eye that guy must have is just incredible. You know he walks across the stumps but when he receives that ball, he adjusts and that’s what makes the difference.”
“So, he moved just as before the bowler and that’s what you tell everyone keep still at the crease and Smith does it. You know, I’d go and watch Kohli, Smith, Williamson – absolutely fantastic players. I think if Stokes gets to the wicket, I’d be there to watch him. You know, he is an incredible performer.” Allan Lamb stated.
