Classic Aggers if anyone wants to listen

Oh yes indeed. He was obviously wanting a bite out of McGrath

 

[the dude]

I don't mind admitting it, just had a little cry.

Picked my son up (he's 10 and nearly as tall as me) and started throwing him around the living room, he doesn't care about cricket so had no idea what I was doing. He started screaming, the Mrs came running in thinking something was wrong. Took one look at me shook her head and walked back out. f***ing amazing!

Went to Saburun beach today and lay for hours on ths sand listenting toTMS on the radio. Bloody brilliant by Stokes today. I'm absolutely buzzing tonight

We can all die happy now – cricket doesn't get any better than this

The World Cup is a distant memory – and now only Ben Stokes’ second-greatest exploit.

Excellent read. Thank you.

Sobers and Kallis would disagree like

Kallis was awesome.
I remember GS but was only a nipper.

 

[El Oso]

If I had been there I would've been in a bog with my fingers in my ears......

Aye, even Stokes couldn't watch it....

 

[Beau Peep]

Just watching Paine's review of the Leach LBW that pitched outside leg, hit outside leg, and was going down leg. Cummins shaking his head and him reviewing anyway. And then their faces when Stokes had his let off



Fucked it mate

Roll in The Hundred next season (sarcasm before anyone complains)

Excellent read. Thank you.

Great stuff.
Watched the last 15 minutes on SKY Go with Mrs and the little Trundlers in the Concorde Museum up in Scotland (I had given up). Standard day really, I'm sure I heard the old bird's engine rev a bit when we won.

Saw that a few minutes ago but couldn't copy the link. McGrath wanted to storm out, Aggers smirking at him and Cooke not knowing where to look like a naughty schoolboy, f***ing class!

I don't think he watched the game tbh. Stokes duck in the 1st innings? Sure the second review was when they had 8 left to get too.

When I walked into the SoL yesterday we were 20odd for 2, and pretty much dead and buried.

When Woakes was walking back to the pavilion, we were dead and buried.

When Broad was yorked, this time we were definitely dead and buried.

It just defies believe that we won that. Denly and Root yesterday fighting to build the platform, then Stokes and Bairstow holding it together this morning, then this afternoon and everything that was.

359, you just don't chase down that. You don't score 67 in your first innings and win, you just don't. 131 years ago that anyone scored less than that in the 1st innings and won.

Still can't believe it, staggering. Cricket man, what a game.

tears in me eyes reading that

Hope this test was a valuable lesson for the OTT knee jerkers. You can't claim to love test cricket if your toys are out the pram early doors. It goes against the very nature of the game.
