Ben Stokes' Headingley heroics | The Back Page 

Legend has it Jack Leach kept cleaning his glasses because he couldn’t believe what he was watching

Nice to see Australians respect one of our innings, you can joke he was born in NZ but he’s one of our own. So is Marcus lambushane for Australia.

Ben Stokes is on of the best cricketers of the modern era. What an inspiration of a man. He has everything you need in a man. Never say die attitude.

I actually liked this video! A great watch.. it's a shame not everyone can appreciate a good innings.

As a an Aussie ,you've got to respect the heart and determination of Ben stokes ,one of the greatest individual efforts in ashes cricket.

Got to love Kerry O'Keeffe! Still one of the funniest men around in cricket. Let's hope he and David Lloyd are still in action in 10 years' time, when they both won't be far off 80.

He gives 110% when everyone is happy with 100%

I couldn't watch the last day's play of the Headingley test but it all looked pretty hopeless so I didn't care much. I got home and started the 5 min 19 sec highlights on RU-vid expecting to see the inevitable. Sure enough, England offered a bit of resistance and then there was Buttler getting stupidly run out and I thought : Here we go - collapse time. And so when it got to 286-9 with 74 needed I assumed it was as good as over. The last 2½ minutes of the highlights were almost surreal. When England got it down to only 13 needed to win, I was thinking what a pity to get so close and still lose - a valiant effort. The last bit was just unbelievable! Now all we have to do is win the last two tests.

Cradock is bang on at 1:45 cricket is perhaps not even in the top 5 most popular sports in the country, but this summer will berth a new generation of fans

Crash and Kerry are huge Australian icons, but they also love their cricket. Incredibly respectful of top class performances no matter which country they're from.

As a Brit, I love the Aussies. Our biggest rivals but all in good fun. They have such a laid back nature and love their sport. Where else in the world would a horse race get everyone a day off work 😂

Great to see a pundit team love the sport and the stories way more than tribally. Brilliant coverage!

Not for the first time, Ben Stokes showed real fight... Amazing innings, amazing match. Love test cricket!

This is a good watch , great overview and summary

Love you cricket what a game 🤩🤩🤩true entertainer thanks England

Inngs like this . Make me proud cricket lover❤️

Aussie banter is excellent! So refreshing.

It all came down to the empire making a crucial mistake with two balls left, when Stokes was actually out but the umpire made the wrong decision but Australia had no review left.

He hadn’t played cricket till he moved to England as a young boy. So all those who keep linking him to New Zealand piss off!! White and red flows through his veins 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

That was great, I've been scouring the web for any videos of that amazing day and this was a good one.. you'd love to have Stokes in the trenches with you in a war eh.

Good sporting spirit.

Robert Craddock reminds me of the boss in 'Rostered On'.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory will be hard to come back from.

Great Video, Thanks

What a match, and whatever your team, cricket was the winner 🏆

Full video please

Mr.Incredible ♥🏏❤

It was clearly the best innings. It’s the ashes, Sri Lanka and South Africa doesn’t even come close

Kerry O'Keeffe is clearly more than just funny

3:23 after he puts his helmet down, and begins to wipe his brow, his arm is shaking from nerves. Jack Leach showed as much heroics as Ben Stokes.

O'Keefe was great in Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' video...

Noice Gary.. well fielded Lyno! .. mother cricket strikes again :-)

fair on you Aussies... very fair judgment of England.

Ben stokes 👏✌

Jack Leach, what an innings even better than his 92.🇬🇧🇬🇧😁

Jack Leach a Somerset ledg already. Been screaming at the ECB to put Leach in for ages

Bradman did not hit sixes as it was not safe. His hooks were always along the ground too.

You forgot the first innings, where we played absolutely horrendously. It should have been a straight forward Aussie win.

0:12. Hahahaha. Skull u Legend.

Fair play to you all, from a pom.

i liked this video.

Aussie banter is class 😂😂😂😂

Mate this innings was way better than both the laxman and Sri Lanka innings.

Leach and his glasses must be an advertiser's dream especially when the sponsor is Specsavers. You might wonder why he is wiping his glasses after every ball. I wear glasses and on a hot day your glasses just fog up. Imagine what it is like for Leach under the helmet on a hot day. However it must take the momentum out of Hazlewood and Cummins when they are trying to knock his block off. "Hold it Josh," I just need to clean my glasses!😂😂😂

Good to see respect , I fucking hate Steve Smith , but god do I respect him and fear him . Rivalry is good but respect should be shown to those who deserve it

Me sad aus lost

#CRICKET IS THE BEST,, TEST CRICKET IS THE BEST..

All in vain now but least it meant we cant lose series 0-4 which was actually my prediction for the 2015 Ashes

Can someone explain how 121 runs to win with 6 wickets to win is an un winnable match ?!

Aussies joking about stokes born in NZ? If we’re going on ancestory England can take back 50% of every Aussie team in last 100 years and Scotland Ireland and Wales the rest! Only joking lads, it’s been a fantastic test series so far

But Aussie deserve to be win the series go Aussie

Yeh but he’s not from england

Marmalized them !

The host is a complete flog. No need for the night club comment, have some respect.

Big low eyebrows like me, my glasses always get fogged up at the top when I am cycling, so annyoing.

Fielding Gary

Jack Leach is the GOAT lmfao

Usman khawaja born in Pakistan, Matt Renshaw English, moses Henricks Portugal. We could go on. Don't try to spin this fox. You lost tuff in happens. By the way it was to the World champions x

World no one player

In my books Ashes cricket ranks number 1

Love that Aussies can’t take it 😂

Ben Stokes’ innings was high class no doubt. But never forget that the Aussies actually won the match and it’s just that the umpire messed up! Another lucky break for Eng just as in the ICC WC 2019!!!!

We'll still lose the series

Not Marmalized , but Marmited 😂😂. We don't Marmalize but Marmatilize . Come on England bring it home.

Jack leech wants to be a laughing stock WITH HIS FAKE GLASSES or he wants to win matches,,, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH KP.. #Ashes

Yeah good innings but our bowlers better get a Xmas card from stokes, they bowled like crap all day, bowled too short, weak bouncers it was a disgrace. All those bowlers should be dropped.

Kusal Perrera in a pointless game?
