It’s been a privilege to be a cricket fan whilst Ben Stokes graced international cricket. Thanks for the memories 😊🙏🏏

[England Cricket @englandcricket]

One of England's all-time greatest captains, Ben Stokes, has decided to retire from international cricket at the end of this Test match.

Ben, you have been the most inspirational captain, leader and legend this team could have ever hoped for.

We love you so much and wish you all the best in your retirement ❤️

England will never be the same again.

@gus_tawse Good memories. I was a Broomhill “Bomber” in summer 1973 and 1974. Looked forward to summer evening games at Hazlehead v teams like the Froghall Vics 😊 Got a team photo somewhere

@282liz Cmoon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Was at the Windies game. On another day we could have won.

@MDMorrison82 As long as we don’t start arguing over who puts the bins out 😉 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ❤️ Boston

@gus_tawse Thanks for highlighting these positives. More .. 24th game at a WC and only our 5th win. Haiti are the 5th side we've beaten at a WC
John McGinn is our 19th ever goalscorer at WC .
Gunn is only the 3rd keeper to keep a clean sheet at a WC
16 debuts at WC all the players tonight).

@CricketScotland @ghkcricketclub So proud of this historic and impressive win v 9th ranked Irish. Onwards to WIndies Cmoon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏏

[Andrew Lowden @AndrewLowden1]

@NeilDrysdale Coming in to form at just the right time, beating 9th ranked team.. are you listening Men’s ⚽️ ? Looking forward to being in Leeds for 7th ranked WIndies match on Thursday 😊

[Andrew Lowden @AndrewLowden1]

@gus_tawse Thanks, Gus. I hadn’t gone that far back. Defo before my time

[Andrew Lowden @AndrewLowden1]

@CricketScotland Congratulations @karicarswell82

Scotland Women have just recorded, I believe, their first ever win over Bangladesh. Whisper it quietly, but they look a very good, and well-drilled, side. I think they might surprise a few people at the WWC. 👀

[Andrew Lowden @AndrewLowden1]

@NeilDrysdale Congratulations to you both. I feel a second print coming on 🤔😊

[Andrew Lowden @AndrewLowden1]

@jockgardiner I’ll never forget your & the other tributes at Pittodrie. The whole occasion generated much laughter and tears. Neale seemed to hit such heights so young and was such a positive force, it didn’t seem right to be saying goodbye. I’ll think of him as that heavenly dancer 😊

[Andrew Lowden @AndrewLowden1]

@NeilDrysdale I appreciate it less time to read than write Simmy. I’m finished, thouroughly enjoyed it, often an emotional read. Looking forward to any Neale Cooper project. Only came across him 3 times, primary football, Shire junior cricket and later as a match day ambassador but loved him

[Andrew Lowden @AndrewLowden1]

@scotball_ @FotMob Looks pretty good to me. I’d maybe consider starting Ferguson rather than Christie but then again we should be on the front foot and Christie carries more of a threat. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Andrew Lowden @AndrewLowden1]

Apparently on retirement it’s better to look forward than back, but that’s not going to stop me enjoying “Simmy” - revisiting the 80’s success of @AberdeenFC with the help of @NeilDrysdale and @NeilSimmy8 It will take me back to Gothenburg too. Cheers Simmy ❤️

[Andrew Lowden @AndrewLowden1]

@dadbegg David, I’m a Dons season ticket holder so I share your grim conclusion. Frankly I can’t rationally explain why I’ve just renewed my ST 🙄😉 I’m a lifelong cricket enthusiast too, so I’m looking forward to your cricket posts…any particular areas of interest or themes?

[Andrew Lowden @AndrewLowden1]

@ExtremeFootbal4 Still updating league ladders 😊

[Andrew Lowden @AndrewLowden1]

@aseemshiva78 @ScottyCricket Best wishes from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 with your quest for 6th place. I’m surprised by Nepal’s position, Nepal v Scotland matches are usually very close, tense and entertaining. Maybe T20 is favoured format ?
