Ian Botham was famously asked "who writes your scripts" ... the same could be said of Ben Stokes ... the ball after news of his retirement was broken to the ground

The end of an era ❤️

A guard of honour for Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates and Lea Tahuhu as their New Zealand careers come to an end 👏

@KP24 @kptheswitch @JontyRhodes8 @GoogleIndia @GeminiApp No No No KP, I knew you were not going past level 2 without tweaking a rule there. You know who to call for a challenge as hard as this. Even in their sunset years, get one of the Fab4 for this.

Two sporting icons. Two different eras. But there is one huge similarity between Muhammad Ali and Novak Djokovic. They stuck to their principles even when the world was trying to shut them down. They have both transcended sport with their bravery when under fire.

@CarrickGaston @cheekss4042 Listen to Pommie Mbangwa or Katie Martin live when they takes over. They add so much to 'what's going on' & 'how the ball took place' without any cliché. I'm surprised @bhogleharsha has been sitting beside the likes of them for decades yet learnt close to nothing.

@CarrickGaston @cheekss4042 .."if ever there was a short.... the ball has gone to one Rinku out of many that are there on the field tonight....ohh, no boundary rope matters these days(repeatedly)...
I'm only suggesting that if he works hard a little, he can be better. He chooses not to.

Heinrich Klassen has found his mojo back. So difficult to do post-retirement. If only someone close from South Africa can convince him back to International Cricket, they will be unbeatable come the 2027 WC.

@joybhattacharj Thanks Joy da, for inadvertently shining a light on something that has been the talk of these past few days about Indian commentators being largely incompatible. I hope things change for the better.

Ravi Shastri gets to call the ‘Honeybadger’ phase of Glenn Phillips, Harsha Bhogle gets the ‘Arshdeep–Mitchell lafda’, Shaz again voices the winning moment, and the Ahmedabad crowd gets to stay late into the good night. Everyone goes home happy.

Whatever lunar eclipse it was for 15 minutes (over 16-18), I hope it's over. The Ahmedabad crowd deserve this night.

Special thanks to the SMAT 25/26 for giving us Ishan Kishan out of nowhere for this World Cup. He's made this line up look like fire.

How happy one can be for Sanju Samson, after all. This is the comeback of all comebacks.

Abhishek Sharma hear voices in his head, they council him, they understand, they talk to him.

Matt Henry pulled off his opening spell early, and when he comes back he has to try the slower ball. What a miss, Mitch Santner.

[🐌 @CommonHookworm]

Oh the luck! Oh Lockie.

New Zealand is never a good team to face in the finals. That Matt Henry didn't have a standout performance this tournament scares me more.
