They didn’t yesterday. They could have run two runs in the time it took the ball to reach the boundary, had they wanted to.
I guess, and actually now I remember thinking that at the time but Stokes looked so stunned at what had happened before he threw his arms up apologetically.
Either way, if it had been me I’d have gone for it
If you listen to the TMS commentary of it, they mention that Stokes was trying to argue that the extra four runs shouldn’t count.
I admire the optimism of these people going ‘they’ll have to edit out Prince Andrew from this stuff soon!’ as if people like Prince Andrew ever get found guilty of anything
Bit sad today as we’ll never have a better finish to a cricket match
What a great bunch of lad ey
Yeah that’s it, might as well finish cricket now, it’s peaked
Though kind of felt that after aguero won the league for Man City and this season’s camps league semis bettered that, so who knows?
This year’s CL semi-finals were the worst thing ever
Mmm not sure I agree with that, simply because of the importance of Aguero’s goal.
Also Michael Thomas in 1989 is better than Aguero’s goal
The language expert Michael Thomas?
Did anyone notice Jofra “swimming” across the outfield after that final ball? Here’s a still, I’m not clever enough to embed it or make a gif or anything.
I’ve always understood the ‘act’ to be the misfield, or in this instance, when the ball hit Stokes’ bat.
If the ball hitting the bad is considered an irrelevance though the “act” is the throw I would say
Everyone back to lord’s were giving it New Zealand. Cant believe we’ve been moonlit
Anyone else incredibly hungover at work as a result of this?
I think half the country back home called in sick

So Bancroft is back in the Test squad. Should be interesting bants in the sheds, seeing as Bancroft pretty much laid all of the sandpaper incident blame on Warner
