Cricket

Was over once we posted 67. A few players were playing for their careers second innings and saved their bacon.

Good for them.

They can do it when they want to, they just dont want to do it. Ben Stokes always the exception. Seem him do this time and again in all formats. Top player and willing to fight.

Very disappointing when you come into the day knowing its going to require a massive effort and you’re opening two go for single figures.

38 needed..just shows if earlier batsman had put the effort in we could've had 2/3 wickets left..

Stokes with a brilliant 6!

Under 40 to go

Stokes with his 100. 33 to go!! And another 6!

And another 6!! What is stokes doing here!! 21 remaining !!

Trouble here with Lion on. F**k off Pain you talentless tit.

Into single figures!!

Another 6! 2 more to win! Stokes is doing something special here!!

Yesss! Stokes has just played an incredible innings!

I can't quite believe that! Stokes brings me to tears again.

Cricket is just great. SPOTY right there.

Didn't see that coming...all the years I've watched Test match cricket, given the circs that is without doubt the best winning innings I've ever seen....A...mazing..

WOW!!! Stokes just unbelievable, one of the best innings I've ever seen.

Incredible. Tuned into the closing stages on TMS. Up there with Edgbaston 05 surely? Nice to see test cricket take the glory. If England win the Ashes from this then oh my god it will probably surpass Edgbaston 05.

Quite something from Ben Stokes. Gerrardesque in its never say die attitude.

Think the Aussies are in shock...I'm not far off it myself...did that happen..

Series all tied up and if England go on to win it, that will be looked at as a historic innings and the turning point.

Just seen it is the highest successful run chase in English history!

Amazing stuff, absolutely crazy

F***ing amazing!

Legendary stuff!

Jesus F***ing christ. This year of sport is just brilliant

Jesus f**king christ. This year of sport is just brilliant

FK..is that the best innings given the circs you've ever seen. I called it over after 2 days...

Stokes is in shock...can't believe it himself..

...take a braver man than me to tell him his car is 2 inches on a double yellow..

Told you cu*ts.

Tim Paine can turn in his baggy green the useless tw*t. Won’t even blame the umpire for missing a plumb LBW when our captain calls a review on something like that meaning we don’t have the review to overturn the obvious one.

Nice one lads. Deserved that win because we were given every chance and refused to take them. You wanted it more.

The only hope I had through it all was thinking 'surely Tim Paine cant lift the urn'.

It certainly got dramatic near the end and you always know in these types of matches a chance will come or a moment will arrive. That silly review and the fumble by Lyon when England were on the brink were those moments.

Ben Stokes though what an innings that was! And credit to Leach for sticking with him. He also helped break the tension for me every time he calmly wiped his glasses lenses. I just found it very funny . I like Leach.

How can you win with an innings of 67 all out? 🤣

Honestly still can't believe what happened.

One of the great knocks in the history of test cricket from Stokes.
