Yeah, no problem.
I don't know whether to say good evening or good morning, but yeah, there's lots to talk about.
Actually, it is, you know, because Ben has done some brilliant, brilliant things.
If you look back over the last decade especially, including the four years of captaincy, but, you know, the decade... Well, I mean, all his 14 years, 13, 14 years as an England player.
I mean, some of the innings he played early on, you know, double hundred in Cape Town was extraordinary.
I mean, the big innings for me...
was the 100 at Headingley to win that Test match almost single-handedly, where I remember being in a Sky studio hosting the post-match debrief with Ian Botham alongside,
And the first thing I had to say to Ian is, I think that's better than yours, which is quite a big thing because, you know, both of them in 81 was unbelievable.
Stokes, 2019, wasn't it?
He was, you know, that was an extraordinary ending.
I mean, that was a single handed victory by a man who wasn't going to give up.
who realised that, you know, first of all, he had to dig in, play proper innings, give himself half a chance of being there at the end.
And then when Jack Leach infamously added one to that final partnership, the shots he was playing.
And so the big change in momentum, I mean, that was... Am I a good watcher?
I'm not a brilliant watcher of this game of cricket.
When I'm working, obviously, I'm switched on.
But you could not take your eyes off him on that day.
And that's just one of many, many performances.
So, I mean, the first thing anyone is going to do is say, we're going to look back at Ben Stokes.
We're going to rate him as possibly, this is another big call, possibly the best all-rounder we've had since the war, overtaking both of them.
