Well done England! Double world champs!

Arise, Sir Ben Stokes.

Has to be, god Wills it!

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Bloody brilliant. That’s made a shit sporting weekend a whole lot better :))))

The weekend threatened to be so bad that, if we’d lost that as well, I’d have lumped on the rags to win this afternoon! Small mercies..

 

[Craig]

What a man!

A big well done to the team on a fantastic achievement. Looked a bit hairy at 84-4,but Stokes stepped up to the plate big time, ably supported by Moeen.

Might be similar after Qatar.

but probably not.

as we only won the Euros… ;-)

Would be great to see. Can't wait for Wales to get their hands on all three!!!

You’ll have to be quick, once Bale and Ramsey retire, you’ll be back being the in the same league as Azerbaijan, Albania, Kosovo etc.

[GornikDaze]

Quite happy with Cricket how it is. F1 looks like it might be getting worse because of the American interest and owners. So bit worried it would have a negative effect on Cricket as well.

It's miles too complicated for the yanks

• You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
• Each man that’s in the side that’s in the field goes out and when he’s out comes in and the next man goes in until he’s 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.
• When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
• Sometimes there are men still in and not out.
• There are men called umpires who stay out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out.
• Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter whether they’re in or out.
• When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished

Don’t forget they the game stops for food.
