    Stoked!

    What an innings!
    New Zealand were never likely to get close to that England total, but I hadn't expected them to capitulate quite so timidly...

    Stokes smashes record 182 as England trounce Kiwis
    https://www.bbc.co.uk
    Ben Stokes clobbers the highest score by an England batter in a one-day international in the 181-run trouncing of New Zealand at The Kia Oval.
    Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see.
    Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it’s been.

      Sorry, but I can’t read about cricket because it challenges my belief that baseball was invented from scratch in upstate New York.

          Don't read about Rounders, or base-ball as it was also called at one time. Very old English game, in more modern times more popular as a girl's game or mixed game in schools.

              Let's hope that his knee holds up for the Tests in India.

                  And then there's the sublime Jane Austen....

                  An early form of baseball was well-established in England by the mid-eighteenth century.

                      Ben Stokes rested for this fourth and final ODI v New Zealand, but the outcome was pretty much the same. With the World Cup beckoning, the squad is virtually picking itself with these kind of performances. England comfortably win the series 3-1.

                      Dawid Malan's sublime century inspires England to a series-clinching hammering of New Zealand in the fourth and final one-day international at Lord's.
