A small miracle has happened but the trouble is it won't last long.

Re: English Cricket
It’s getting a bit nail-biting at the moment...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/cricket/47325095
359-9
England need 8 to win, Australia one wicket from retaining Ashes.
Got a six, 2 to win...
Australians just dropped a run out.
LBW not out
358-9, so it’s a draw so far - Stokes on strike, 1 to win.
Hits a 4....
England win!!!

Re: English Cricket
Arise Sir Ben Stokes as what l witnessed today was what the great Sir Ian Botham did in 1981 at Headingley.
It was truly magnificent..

Re: English Cricket
I am going to claim some of the credit. At the half way stage of Australia's second innings I stopped watching and purposely avoided seeing the score. Every time I watched before that England lost a wicket. I did look at the overnight score and gave them a 10% chance. It also means the next game at Old Trafford for which I have tickets is not now a dead rubber.
In fact I was watching a live stream from Lancs v Worcs T20 Blast, Lancs creamed second in the table Worcs bowlers for 218 for 5 and Worcs are currently 50 odd for 5, a good day just keeps getting better.

He's increasingly been doing media stuff over the last couple of years, so retirement is on the cards. Guess he hoped he'd go out winning the Ashes. Tbh don't think we'd miss him that much, bowling we've got, the problem is the batting. Surprised they've made no changes there, they've surely got to put Roy down the order and open with Denly.

Re: English Cricket
Just leaving Old Trafford as Lancs win to secure top spot. Sadly I can't get to the T20 quarter finals as Lancs are playing their 'home' game at Durham due to test match at Old Trafford.
