too straight from Bess. More bounce from Denly and use of the rough

what a test match

By:

Without Stokes and Anderson we'd be up s*** creek without a canoe never mind a paddle

I don't care what others say. I reckon Stokes is quite handy.

By:

Whisperingdeath When: 07 Jan 20 15:09

Well done Stokes from all the England Staunch men who did not flinch and are laughing all the way to the bank!

By:

tomtimtum When: 07 Jan 20 15:09

One of Englands best performances for a long while

By:

Angoose When: 07 Jan 20 15:09

Stokes is a winner, incredible attitude and application.

By:

SontaranStratagem When: 07 Jan 20 15:10

I'd have laid England at tea but I haven't a pot to p*** in so there's that

By:

Kwality Test Match and weird but brilliant pitch!

5 DAYS!

Stokes ain't by any means the most lethal bowler but what he has in spades is a winner's DNA..smth u can't buy or train for..top man..some frigging sharp catching this test..fair play..great session after tea..Eng came thru..SA blew it

At last an away win,1st one for quite a while

By:

SontaranStratagem When: 07 Jan 20 15:11

Stokes should be captain

Root gets away with it whenever Stokes/Anderson/Broad drags the rest of the team through the winners gate

Make Stokes captain already ffs

By:

tomtimtum When: 07 Jan 20 15:12

Don't need Stokes to be captain for him to lift the team

maybe if he was captain the team wouldn't need any lifting?

Tom you might like to know Sibleys hundred was the first from an English opener at Cape Town since 1910 by the truly Great Sir Jack Hobbs! He would make the Essex all time 1st XL ahead of Sir Alastair Cook even though he did not play for them!

making Stokes captain wouldnt solve the big issues surrounding the team

By:

SontaranStratagem When: 07 Jan 20 15:13

But he's better tactically than Root as well

I gurentee he'd have us number 1 if he was captain, not just the tactical nous but he'd get them riled up from the beginning

Headbutting walls before heading out, they'd be fired up from the get go

By:

geordie1956 When: 07 Jan 20 15:13

great game and stokes proves yet again that you need men like him to step up to the plate at the most crucial moments ... he has that will to win which in indefinable ...

By:

Whisperingdeath When: 07 Jan 20 15:14

Stokes is an excellent bowler. Does the hard yards Broad does not do when it is flat and lifeless!

By:

roache When: 07 Jan 20 15:14

Not one South African wicket bowled in either innings

By:

tomtimtum When: 07 Jan 20 15:14

Sibley the best, better than all the rest !

By:

Angoose When: 07 Jan 20 15:14

Stokes is best away from all of the media activities that come with being captain, let him do his stuff without that burden.

By:

SontaranStratagem When: 07 Jan 20 15:15

Plus I've noticed with Stokes he backs up his lads if anyone messes with them, defends them

Stokes would handle the media well enough in my opinion, angoose

By:

peckerdunne When: 07 Jan 20 15:16

Stokes as captain is understandable but not required, he is a leader without the badge.

Well played England..

QDK U MUG

Roy Keane at Man Ure

No one facked with them did they?

By:

Whisperingdeath When: 07 Jan 20 15:17

I think his batting yesterday again selfless gave England the runs, time and overs needed to complete this win!

By:

tomtimtum When: 07 Jan 20 15:17

Should be booing big vern for costing em the match not cheering him!

By:

roache When: 07 Jan 20 15:18

Amazing just the one LBW wicket the whole match

By:

Quite possibly, but just don't burden him with it and all of the other garbage that comes with being captain.
It burns them all out.

By:

SontaranStratagem When: 07 Jan 20 15:23

Some excel at it

But yes you could be right, its a risk

By:

Injera When: 07 Jan 20 19:41

Wonderful final session. Stokes is an incredible cricketer. He performs when he's most needed. 6 catches, 3 last session wickets and 100+ runs.

SA were heroic in batting 138 overs.

All to play for.

not even worth a comedy draw green...mind you i say that often and it never ceases to amaze me how it stays alive

Worth remembering this for future reference.

Did it trade above 100? I know WD got a piece at 90.
Lowest odds I saw were 1.33, during the final session.

Credit to elisjohn whom I laughed at when he suggested backing the draw in the 70s.

I had withdrawn all my funds on day 2 of the test. Taking a break. My profits for the last 16 months read -40 Euros(at one point I was up +4k in June). The lack of discipline getting the better of me. On day 2 I got a 500 red on the aus game and tilted and the first thing I did was withdraw the funds.

I have also launched my own agency so should get pretty busy in a week's time. Maybe i'll be back in April. Have fun and long live the KING
