Warne has been on Paines back all series imo. Surely even the aussies can’t reinstate the cheat for the next test? Though I’ve got a feeling he has been captaining on the field already

Aussies feeling the Paine today- wouldnt like to be him- headingly was like a Roman colosseum and it shit the aussies right up
Angers is the reducer isn’t he.. nowhere to escape his gaze

Looking back England had no right to win that at all... even putting 67 allout aside that second innings the amount of catches they put down... full on drops, half chances, sixes that only cleared the fielder by a foot or so. Then the review debarcle, Stokes LBW given not out (it was plumb), a regulation run out missed.

Staggering luck from England. England have to make it count for something now and go on to win the Ashes. They have to.

Some luck of course (Joel Wilson) but also massive amounts of pressure placed on the Australians who naturally made mistakes. They are (just about) humans, put people under enough stress and they ever crack or become incredibly focused. Stokes focused, the Aussies cracked.
 
Michael Vaughan - "I don't think Ben Stokes fully realises what he's just done. That shouldn't happen. You shouldn't be able to do that."

Yes but it has so give the lad some praise will you. You are a nasty t***.
I just listened to the TMS podcast and it had the full interview. He was absolutely gushing with praise mate. In the passage 20 seconds before the bit you highlight he described it as the best innings he had ever seen. I think you misunderstood him totally

Vaughan interviewed video just above.
 
Wow, what an absolutely fantastic day. The best sporting event I have attended I reckon, from the hope in the morning that we could do it, to not even giving us half a chance once buttler got ran out. The atmosphere was unbelievable yesterday all day, a good leave was getting cheered like a boundary at 1 point! Ben stokes take a bow. Days like yesterday will be why test cricket is always the pinnacle of the sport for most of us.
 
Easy this Cricket Pundit stuff.....🤣

Gotta say I filled up when he hit the winning shot.
Quite simply the single most brilliant innings that I have ever seen.
Well done Ben Stokes - Durham & England 👏👏👏👏👏
Mrs cabbage and number #1 daughter both caught me welling up. P!ss ripped out of me for next 3 hours and they've both reminded me about it this morning.
