Jim Maxwell describing it on TMS as greatest Test Match and innings hes ever seen.

Stokes was shite in the first innings mind, crap shot

I watched Botham live in 1981 as a 14 year old. However, when he started his innings the game was pretty much over so no pressure. Even after his 149 the Aussies only needed just over a 100 to win. Enter big Bob to take an 8 for.

Today there was pressure on Stokes from ball one. Others chipped in but to score 70 odd out of 73 to win the game is extraordinary stuff.

Gold Keith lad. Pure gold

And to think we were feeling sorry for people who had bought day 4 tickets two days ago...

For sheer drama 10/10 you couldn’t make sporting climaxes better than that.
Thank you Aussies for wasting your final review on Leach .it was so sporting of them ha,ha,

Absolutely unbelievable - A single player doing what he did today on the back of the world cup stuff. His status has changed from a very good world class all rounder to one of the greatest cricketers to play for England all in 3 months.

Heart is pounding. I had to keep changing channels when Leach was facing. Un f***ing believable that.

Me mate had a spare only found out last night at 9pm, I’d had a skin full yesterday I’d have took it if the useless c.unt had said earlier

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Just about stopped shaking.

That's one of the best innings ever in the history of Test cricket. The best ever by an English batsman I reckon.

Special mention to Jack Leach too - he's not going to score runs but he was solid as fuck. Absolutely brilliant.

 

[stephen cartwright]

Those sixes were off the pacers as well. That was botham at old Trafford hammering Lillee etc all around the park

That review for lbw when it pitched at least a foot outside leg. Then Lyon fumbling a simple run out

Then Ben plumb lbw not given.

As with the World Cup final, it looks destiny for England this summer

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Amazing, even just being able to listen. Will enjoy the highlights on channel 5 later.

 

[hudson88]

What an unbelievable day.

Still in shock at what I’ve just witnessed, truly truly special day

 

[stephen cartwright]

Amazing, even just being able to listen. Will enjoy the highlights on channel 5 later.

Just set the planner

 

[mackembhoy]

Let’s not forget Joel Sheldon Wilson’s part in all this.

Take a bow Sir

I dont know how that wasn't sliding down leg mind

Also I've liked every fuckers post cos this is the best thing I have ever seen in sport.

Thank you all you wonderful people for being on here to witness it
