3rd Ashes Test - Headingley

[Mainze]

Great words there from Gower.

 

[El Oso]

The Mrs is just coming out of the other room now that things have settled a bit.

Absolutely astounding

BEN STOKES SHAG MY ARSE

 

[Scotty 1978]

Would anyone make changes to the batting still ? Think I would, Roy and Denly out ?

 

[---Nemo---]

I'm blessed. Second time I've witnessed a miracle at Headingley.

 

[Beau Peep]

So who do we think for MotM?

 

[dixonsafc]

Just enjoy it mate, worry about that tomorrow.

 

[Snappy]

Shhhaaaannneeee stick that up your arse.

 

[sonson]

I am sorry I doubted the men in white sporting the three lions. An incredible comeback. The best test cricket I have ever seen.

The majority of them were poor. Stokes as near as possible won the match himself as is humanly possible. Put any other cricketer in the world in Stokes position and we lose.

 

[West_Winger]

Forget that, 70 odd to go with 1 wicket wasn't it?

73 to go aye.

I was just saying that I didn’t even give us a hope that long ago. How Stokes managed to control that is one of the greatest feats I’ve ever seen.

 

[stephen cartwright]

Nearly in tears here

It’s 81, 05 and 10/11 all rolled into one

However this is something that will be remembered in a 100 years. I’m utterly drained again, as per the final.

Cricket boring? Woweeee

 

[dangermows]

Better than the world cup win for me that.

Easily. Fuck limited overs cricket.

 

[Keyser Soze]

That's the best *ever* innings by an England batsman and I'm not even prepared to listen to an argument for any alternatives.

I'm old enough to remember watching headingly 81 - but even I am tempted to agree

 

[Voice of fair play]

Stokes was without a doubt doing what is commonly known in sport as.

IN THE ZONE

 

[ozcat]

Absolutely amazing from Stokes. Refused to let his team lose and carried them across the line. One of the best innings I’ve ever seen. Sharp contrast to our lads who lost the plot at the end and couldn’t handle the pressure. Poor bowling without plan, terrible field placement, muffed chances under pressure. England just too good.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

That's the best *ever* innings by an England batsman and I'm not even prepared to listen to an argument for any alternatives.

Cooky agreed on tms

 

[Macho]

Not the best death bowler but fuck me put him in a situation like that with a bat.

 

[Scotty 1978]

In case anyone missed it Sunderland ladies 3-2 Newcastle ladies

 

[gavlarsafc89]

Told you’s, Sunderland and England win, truly truly special

 

[Paddy O'Dors]
