Ashes 2019

[sparky]

England one run behind.

[ACT Crusader]

Scores are tied. Leach excellent

[ACT Crusader]

Count back on boundaries surely.

[sparky]

Australia won't win the Ashes today.

[ACT Crusader]

Wooohoooooooo. Love it.

[Billy Tell]

Feel really sorry for the Aussies.

Not!

Will have to watch some highlights.

[sparky]

England win. Fucking amazing stuff from Ben Stokes.

Crowd having 20,000 orgasms.

Test Cricket fucking hell.

[Bones]

Was that a 77 run partnership with Leach scoring 1? Nice one Stokes.

[ACT Crusader]

That second last over will be replayed forever!

LBW chance, run out chance, 6s and the fact Leach was left on strike to start what was the final over.

Yep. Stokes hitting was phenomenal under the circumstances.

He looked stuffed physically and mentally but found a way.

What a finish. Stokes brings them back from the dead, Lyon drops the ashes with that botched run out, and the aussies needlessly blow a review only to need it shortly after when Stokes was trapped plumb in front

[ACT Crusader]

An amazing test match all round with the ebbs and flow within it.

Oz missed opportunities to win it for sure but the hitting from Stokes put pressure on the bowlers and fielders.

Stokes has had quite a Summer

One test match does not make a summer. What else has he done?

[canefan]

That was a shocking LBW decision by the umpire. Looked plumb in real time. Should have given it and allowed the poms a chance to review. That's why you save your reviews I guess

You're deflecting....

[ACT Crusader]

@canefan the only thing that I thought put it in doubt is in real time I thought it hit the front pad first which was slightly outside the line.

[KiwiPie]

Just woke up to that scoreboard. That's amazing, what an innings by Stokes.

To show what a sportsman he is, should Stokes have reviewed the not-out LBW decision :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:
