Shades of Headingly 81'

I watched that test live on the BBC at my Gran's house in Woodhouse Park, and Stokes performance today was up there with Botham's.

What odds were England after the first innings?

Right come on, every last one of you fuckers who abused them, eat some humble pie. Even I had a dig.

What a fucking days cricket, staggering performance from Stokes.

 

[jimharri]

I envy those in the ground today.

 

[George Hannah]

Never in doubt.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Yes. The umpires no call for LBW was absolutely criminal. That’s as plumb as you will see and he has absolutely bottled it. Shocking decision.

Incorrect call, absolutely, but the Aussie's should have used their reviews better.

Fuck football,that was ace.

Way ahead. Bothams was a great innings but played under very little pressure in comparison

Bob Willis will be like a dog with two sets of bollocks to lick this evening!

I actually shed tears when he hit that through the covers.

Biggest price I seen was 68/1 when Broad went.

The first summer of cricket I watched was 1981. We had just moved back to the UK and I was 11. It's taken until today to see something equal Botham. In fact I would say Stokes today was better.
unbelievable performance.

 

[SWP's back]

I thought when they did that, they had just severely impaired their chances. The umpires are appalling.

Var is bent ;)

 

[Hesperus]

Get in! The best test match I’ve ever seen.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Incredible.

Stokes is amazing, a very special cricketer.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Amazing victory! Amazing from Stokes!

Lyon not collecting the throw and wasting the review could cost the Aussie's the ashes haha

Bring on OT.

 

[Rammy Blue]

How funny that Lyon will be the one feeling the worst. Cûnt.

 

[jimmy blue shoes]

I kind of wished i hadn't bothered with the football and seen all of Stokes innings!

Agree. But just because they should have used their reviews better does not take away from how poor the umpires no call was. With no DRS umpire got the fire one right and the second so badly wrong. DRS was brought in to eradicate the howlers. That no decision was a howler. The fact Australia had no challenges left doesn’t change the fact.

 

[jimharri]

Stokes may as well throw the bat now.

Not one to say I told you so, but.....


I TOLD YOU SO!
