[WhyLikeThis]

Don't really watch cricket but every time I do Ben Stokes seems to turn into a superhero

Watch more cricket

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Indians in the crowd enjoying themselves.

 

[Petcha]

Haha Stokes so obviously wants 50.

A sequel to his Amazon doco beckons. Shameless.

Drama!

 

[The Octagon]

Oof, now it's interesting, one big hit wins it, Livingston can def do that.

 

[planetgeli]

Well there's a time to get your first T20I 50.

Drama queen.

 

[The Octagon]

One more

 

[Puddy_Tat]

 

[The Octagon]

Have it!

Who else?

 

[paulhackett]

And this is why we need The Hundred

 

[souljacker]

Ben fucking Stokes does it again

Ooh, you wouldn’t let it lie.

Mark Wood going full John Terry there in full England playing kit

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

He's batted legendary test innings.

He's batted a legendary 50 over world cup winning innings.

Now he's batted a world cup winning 20 over innings.

I quite like Ben Stokes, he's alright.

He’s gotta regain the Ashes and then defend the urn in Oz yet.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Get in!!!

 

[Petcha]

Stokes is surely the greatest allrounder in English history by now and as a result in the greatest player in English cricket history. Batting, bowling, fielding, scaring the shit out of the opposition. His averages don't really do him justice.

Looking forward to seeing how he captains in the sub-continent.

tbf all the squad were in their kit. All Wood did was take his tabard off. Fastest bowler in the tournament, bowled the fastest spell ever recorded in T20 internationals. I think he's allowed to take his tabard off.

What year is Curran in at school?

 

[souljacker]

What year is Curran in at school?

He was expelled for being a little shit

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Gotta feel for Pakistan. It's a real shame it ended for Afridi like that. England were still favourites to win, but that over killed the game. Pakistan bowled and fielded brilliantly up to that over.

 

[Petcha]

Going joyless again, sorry, but all the players interviewed, Stokes included, when asked how it compared to the final against NZ deflected the question. This was a little bit of an anti climax compared to that.

The doco about that match is well worth a watch.

Well yeah, that game was in front of a home crowd and utterly ridiculous.

Plus (IMO at least) One Day >T20.

They can have their reply in a few weeks.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

They can have their reply in a few weeks.

They've got to try to prepare pitches with a bit of pace, surely. Hope both Afridi and Wood are fit for that. I want the best players out there.

Just a reminder, this team was 'missing'..

Roy
Wood
Archer
Topley
Malan

Frightening depth.

I don't think you can include Archer on that list anymore, sadly. His career's surely over.

Dude, he’s started training again. He’ll be back, hopefully this summer!
