            Can Ben do a Botham-Headingley '81? Its not the despair I can't stand its the hope...etc....
            Yes even more remarkable. I thought they had a chance when Root and Stokes were in but when they got to 9 down must have extremley long odds -100-1 plus?

              One of the greatest innings in the history of the game.

                Up there with Botham at Headingley and Old Trafford in 1981 ....and perhaps better. Unbelievable...

                  Yes, yes, yes.......astonishing Stokes....but once again Joel Wilson came to England's assistance. Not for the first time.

                    So wonderfully improbable..... the Liverpool 4 Barça 0 of Cricket....!

                      Praise is also due to Leach, with probably the best 1 not out of all time.
                      "I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

                          1 out of a partnership of 76 must be pretty unusual as well.

                              Different crowd from a one-day crowd or even yesterdays, almost silent until the ball hit for runs then rapturous applause and cheers.

                                This wonderful match will probably make it even harder to sell the dreaded '100' competition.
