Our match-winner.

Our leader.

Our Superman.

Ben Stokes, you are a once-in-a-generation cricketer 👑

Watched this about 1000 times and it’s still as incredible as the first. Special

Ben Stokes is doing that slightly unglamorous captain thing in this Ashes. The bit that rarely shows up neatly in the results column...

He bowled 19 overs, then walked out to bat in 17th over today & then he stayed there for two full sessions. It felt less like a batting innings & more like a statement of intent(or lack of?) delivered with tired legs...

Across this Ashes, Stokes has already faced 373 balls. That’s more than anyone else from either side. No one has crossed 300 except him. For a side built on Bazball momentum & tempo, that number matters. It shows a captain willing to absorb pressure, not just dish it out...

Here’s the part that really lands. Stokes alone has faced 21.6 percent of all deliveries bowled at England in this series. Add Joe Root into the mix & two of them account for 38.4 percent of England’s total balls faced...

And this isn’t happening in isolation from the ball. Stokes has bowled 51 overs in this series as well. In 2025, he is England’s leading wicket taker with 28 wickets at 24.57 average...

The runs may not yet scream Ashes-defining. But leadership isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like fatigue, time at the crease & a captain quietly deciding that if someone has to take the hit, it might as well be him...

@FightingTalk316 @EllyOldroyd @justinmoorhouse @1AaronPaul @moesbihi @rickedwards1 @bbc5live Newcastle ended their 56 year trophy drought last weekend - but who or what team will be the next to end their 50+ year wait?

This decision just reinforces what the public knows to be true: our water industry is broken. It's designed to protect the interests of shareholders, bosses and big finance. It's not a system for us, or the planet. And it must change.

@AvantiWestCoast Hi, our train to Penrith was terminated at Preston. And we were told 7 minutes before Preston. At the station are hundreds of people here all asking what to do. Will we get refunds of the ticket + the cost of a taxi?

Water pollution protests planned across the country on 20th May

[Surfers Against Sewage @sascampaigns]

The Floater. A surfboard made entirely of ocean waste and sewage and a defiant middle finger to water companies and their #sewagescandal.

Join our paddle-out protest, a national day of action to #EndSewagePollution, on the 20th May. See you there! 👀

There’s surely not a person who has played the game that thinks this is acceptable?

Just not cricket…
