Third Test at Headingly

[petecossie]

Some people can't stand cricket and think its boring. I managed to get to see the first day and was elated after we'd bowled the Aussies. Then the total collapse on the second day, glad I wasn't there. However the ups and downs of England's innings today was truly astonishing. As the wickets kept falling through largely poor shot selection and the pressure mounted on Ben Stokes to get England through to target total of 359 it looked like a win was highly unlikely. He did it though and must have been absolutely kxxxxkered at the finish. Great support from Jack Leach is worth mentioning.
Stokes is 2019 SPOTY winner for sure.

And how long is it since he was public enemy number 1? A year is a long time in cricket eh?

Compelling viewing. Came in with still about 70 or so to go, zero chance of a win at that stage. Sport at its absolute best.

I was having a WhatsApp chat with a mate when they were 79 behind for 8. When he said then they were for 9 I thought well that's that then.
How wrong can you be ?

Tony.

Not a big cricket fan, but a great fight back!

Cricket can be boring but by god it can also be exciting and have you on the edge of your seat for what seems like an eternity, just as the world cup did, missed yesterday
