Lol, it was a double before.

SA 4 down

I think that's the worst DRS review I've ever seen

 

[jargan83]

15 overs to go, South Africa 7/241

 

[jargan83]

12.3 overs remaining - South Africa 8/241

 

[jargan83]

Ben Stokes on a hat trick, England need 1 wicket with 12.2 overs remaining

And they say 5 day test cricket is dead. I can't warch the game, but following it on cricinfo I could feel the tension wondering how it was going to play out

 

[jargan83]

England win by 189 runs

 

[AlwaysGreen]

England would be ranked about 127th in the world if they didn't have Stokes.

In 2099,
pencil in Stokes as potentially one of Wisdens players of the century

Safe to say would have been a draw if it was a 4 day test?

Stokes certainly steps up in the biggest moments - more often than anybody else I can think of

So that's Stokes pencilled in and Wadey stamped, bold and underlined.

Bowled out the tail, sure enough, and did get some runs but the bloke who got 133 not out was the difference.

Just taking the piss mate

Jos Butler carrying on like your typical entitled English plonker in this one. What a fool.

The difference between regular Stokes and the occasional miracle out of thin air is monumental. Broad used to do it a lot too, moreso just with his bowling.

 

[Fangs]

A guy like Ben Stokes is a rare find. Shane Watson is our closest in this century and while a great short form player doesn't have the highlights reel in tests like Stokes.

Not aligning with Pieterson's POV there- just sharing his tweet.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Jos Buttler should try scoring some runs before mouthing off
