Loads of tweets about whether it was the greatest catch of all time. Not for me. The one he snared at Trent Bridge against the colonial cousins was a better catch. He was fielding at slip/gully (?) that day, therefore he had less time to react. Also, the ball had nearly passed him by the time he grabbed it. Today's wasn't too bad either, mind. I just think the Ashes one was the better catch. Particularly given the opponents!Anyone stopped watching Stokes' catch yet? Wow!!
I really don’t see India winning this time ...no batsman in that team apart from kolhi gives me any confidence of what so ever..Can't bet against England but it could be India as well.
Maybe because the ECB cared more about cashing in than letting the country watch it. Also because Sky have the rights the highlights on channel 4 can't be run until Sky's highlights show has started. So that means highlights are going to be on at 11pm onwards. This was a good chance to get kids interested in the game but no they'd rather line their pockets.

What a shame honestly, ECB is regularly talking about means to increase the crowds and promote the game whereas their policies seem anti to it. Free Viewing is the only means to grow a sport within the large segments of society.
I don't think that is fair really. Sky has been absolutely fantastic for cricket in this country and helped totally revolutionise the game. The coverage is head and shoulders above terrestrial TV.
