The Final Word Cricket Podcast
Sports:Cricket
The Ashes, 2nd Test at Lord's, Day 5: What the absolute fridge. That was Headingley Mach II for a while, with Ben Stokes reaching heights that seemingly only he can find. It was a grudge match, too, with Lord's ridden with angst. And it was a fast bowling vindication in the end, as the bouncer war was finally won. Angry fans, discontent, invocations of the Spirit of Cricket, and some very ugly scenes in the Long Room - this end to the Test was extraordinary, unedifying, and all kinds of other things besides.
