    Surely on a such a close and big call like that, the umpire review should have been used

    Stokes is a legend now!

    (also the most important 1 run inning by an Englishman from Leach?)

    Fair play to Ben Stokes, great innings.

    Australia only have themselves to blame though, bowling was terrible for the last 2 hours.

    Something has to be done about Joel Wilson.

    Finally I can forgive him for his scummy, drunken assault a couple of years ago.

    But the Aussie skipper should be kicked all the way from Headingley to Van Dieman's Land for wasting that review.

    It was enjoyable listening to Ponting seething after the missed run out and the totally wasted review!

    Remarkable innings by Stokes, fortune favours the brave etc. But how on earth did the Aussies let them take 70 odd runs for the last wicket? Missed three chances, catch & run out & wasted review. Great game though, so many twists & turns.

    So kicking the sh1t out of someone is ok once you win a test for your country? Alright then, FFS....

    Wow, I just tuned in for the last 5 minutes, what an innings from Stokes. Shoe-in for BBC SPOTY (if they eventually win the Ashes)?

    Oh my days. What an innings, what a performance. Ben Stokes has secured his status now in English cricket folklore.

    He has already been tried in a court of law and found not guilty (just like Paddy Jackson!) - but what I wrote, Doofus Minor, is that now I am prepared to forgive him.

    So it's scummy to assault someone, but forgivable because he won a test but really it doesn't matter because he got off in court. :rolleyes:

    He was cleared in a court of law. Get over it.

    Bowled out for 67 first innings and still managed to win. What a game that was. Sets up rest of the series nicely, though England can't escape like that again, and Smith will surely be back. Aussies will still finish the series with the Ashes imo (though I hope I'm wrong!)

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Calm down there. The other poster brought up the assault and the court case, I didn't. I think it is pathetic for someone to use the winning of a game as a reason to "forgive him for his scummy, drunken assault" (again the other posters words).

    I am calm. Overjoyed, in fact. It's others on here who seem to have problems with us winning.

    So if you split Stokes innings in two-ish sections you get the below:

    10 runs off 82 balls
    &
    121 runs off 137 balls

    What a switch up in the middle of his innings.

    There isn't even one post close to being accurate to that.
