Ben Stokes has had quite a summer with the bat! What an absolute hero, one of the greatest Test matches of all time. What a summer Cricket has had.

You must have a hollow life to “hate” a sports team

Only a bitter troll posts that picture after such an amazing sporting feat.

I’ll have to keep my Gerrard vs DJ picture for an appropriate time. If this one triggered you this much, that should be epic!

I’ve had a fairly decent weekend so far, thanks for your concern. Nothing surprises me with United any more...

Certainly no concern on my part

Stokes could still do this for the poms.

He is a completely different player since the episode in Bristol. Changed man who is now a really consistent world class player

Nice try at a jinx or great foresight?

You think I care who gets knighted or wins SPOTY?

The only thing you care about is provoking a reaction on here, but when all is said and done you are just a bell end

I must remember that when watching sport I should never try to aim a provocative jibe at someone supporting an opposing team or player. We must sanitise sport!

And another, great finish there, tense stuff.
Don't understand how they determine who is on strike at the start of an over, if an over ends with Leach on strike, how come at start of next over Stokes is on strike?

Because the bowler changes ends so then bowls to who is standing at the opposite end...if that makes sense?

A bowler bowls 6 balls from one end. At the end of the over a different bowls 6 balls from the other end. The batsmen don't change ends at the end of the over. Because they have cameras at each end it may not look as though the end has changed but it has. Does that make sense?

What they said; you might have noticed that Stokes was trying to run twos rather than singles to get back to the striking end at the start of an over, but towards the end of the over would take a single, exposing Leach to the minimum number of balls before the bowling changed ends at the end of the over meaning that Stokes would be back on strike at the start of the new over. Hope that makes sense.

Cricket is the sort of game that, if you're trying to explain it to someone who doesn't get it, is completely unexplainable...

especially when they can play for 5 days and it’s a draw!

I used to a play a lot and it was practically unfathomable to me even. Mind, I think that was part of the idea of it.

You seem to care who played one of, if not the, greatest test innings in memory!

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. All of the side that are out are in the field, and only 2 men from the side that are in are out in the field. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

I dont think you've got the decency to do that

 

[Mudball]

Best Match of the modern day..

Nor would I ever want to. Sport must be a passionless chore for you.

The case for the prosecution rests M'lud

Cricket, as a sport, is pretty simple when you think about it.
Basically;
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
