    I reckon Stokes has half a chance of getting nominated for SPOTY this year.

    Cricket is better than football.

    I just happened to flick through Radio 5 and heard a few seconds at the end of AFCB v Man City, and stayed to hear a bit of the cricket. Of course, passing interest usually, but totally hooked as the runs started to come down and pundits started to ask if it was possible.

    Does football ever have the level of genuine suspense of cricket at it's best? I don't think it gets close.

    Did I watch it? Did I hell! Turned it off when the 4th wicket went down and re-joined it for the 4 that won it. I miss so much good stuff through cowardice.
    What a performance by Ben Stokes...and let's not forget Leach who kept him in the middle at the end :)

    Terrific performance, but England need to go on and win the Ashes now so that great performance isn't wasted.

    Ben or Bobby.

    Who's the greatest Stokes?

    From the BBC (Simon Mann) -

    Someone has already edited the Ashes' Wikipedia page.

    "The Ashes are a Test match series played between Ben Stokes and Australia."

    Brilliant.

    Should be Ben Stokes vs Steve Smith though.

    What an incredible performance. The only way we could shock me more is by picking Roy again next match... please God no.
