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

England gonna lose again. Can mcculum fuck off too

Why even bother wasting your and our time with this trash. Typifies the pathetic keyboard warriors who hide behind social media

Bazball and stokes have destroyed English cricket

Thanks for that vital contribution

unnecessary hyped player. Only show off.

I'd keep your complete ignorance of the game to yourself. Might be less embarrassing

lol. You are seriously living La La Land.

Is NZ winning by 150 runs in the script?

Surely another poor home series for England and his bizarre opening antics aren't in anyone's script? Been a fine player for England. Leaves his side at a real low however.

That entire session & a half was the biggest load of performative bollocks I’ve ever witnessed. Turned a really good test & and a gutsy test ton to set up a win for his team, into a ‘it’s all about me’ travelling circus. It was cringey & embarrassing

Apart from all the controversies, WHAT A PLAYER. Genuinely one of the best all rounder this game ever had.

Dear Rob Key please go now and take McCullum with you

Crazy crazy stuff 👏

Last phase of Test cricket is dead, done and finished. As the Modern legend's of this format Stokes, Kohli and Williamson retired. Thank you all @imVkohli @benstokes38 @ashwinravi99 @anilkumble1074 @RickyPonting @WasimJaffer14 @MichaelVaughan Go to hell, GG @GautamGambhir

Ben Stokes 🫡♾

@tarunanand0817

Not sure he should be rated as Englands best alrounder - surely Botham, or best captain - Brearley in with a shout.

@Adam_Hassan909 🐐

Maybe the greatest Kiwi to play the game

Root should retire along with him to show support🫢🫢

Bazball has done nothing to improve their bowling really . Have not developed any good bowler in last. 4 years

That is called fixing not scripting..I think you just spelt it wrong.

Script writer must be very very drunk

A warrior who never backs down from a challenge. Ben Stokes proves that courage can change the course of a game. His passion, resilience, and fearless spirit inspire millions. A true champion who shines brightest under pressure. 🏏

According to Ben it is Neil Fairbrother and Michael Lumb but the wicket was all Ben's work.

You might say this was normal for a man synonymous with great dramas. But even by his standards, this bordered on pure fiction. Fantastic from Ben Stokes & a throughly deserved moment to treasure 👏

Every time we think the movie is over, Ben Stokes releases another trailer. Basically the post-credits scene nobody asked for but everyone is watching. 🎞️😅🤡

It was a script written by none other than God.

A great career, a great player, a great captain, a great all rounder.. Cricket will miss you ❤️

.....Then goes and opens the innings and bats like we need 50 off 4....

😂😂. I knew you were from UK

Something is going on.

Loved it.

One of the greats

amazing coincidence he's bowling as the announcement's made just amazing hmmmm

Tremendous stuff
