Välireissä pelinen lensi vähän väliä väärään päätyyn ja kotikatsomus alkoi tunteet kuumentua. Tähän väliin tarvitaan aika lisää ja hampurlaiset, joiden välissä on kahdenlaista chedaria ja jalapenoa! Tähän väliin kahden chearin jalapeno hampurilainen 65 ja sama väkina 495. Boonus on taas syönyt vakuutuslaskua.

Se on boonukselle lajityypillistä toimintaa. Se syö osuuspankin omista ja asiakkaan vakuutuslaskuja. Luulisetta, että vähän pienempi vakuutuslasku oli suunkin makuun.

Stuart Broad 0:50
This is for the love of cricket. I'm Stuart Broad, currently at my mum's house in Nottingham, actually. After an extraordinary day, England captain and legend Ben Stokes has announced his retirement from international cricket. Uh came a bit unexpected. Unfortunately, Jose's currently on the motorway to Durham. Uh he's back on England duty this week. We'll do our usual full podcast review tomorrow after the test match is finished. We can go into more detail, but I'm joined by producer Chuck, who you all know and love, who's gonna field me some questions. So Chuck, um I'm sure you're as surprised as I am this afternoon with the news that came through, and I'm assuming you were watching his first ball uh after the retirement broke with the crowd going berserk.
Unknown 1:32
Very surprised.

How did the crowd and commentators respond to Stokes’ retirement announcement on the field?

Unknown 1:33
Yeah, we're just about to head out on a bike ride and uh the notification came through. So yeah, crazy day. But um I'm sure people want to hear more from you than they do I. Um so I think just tell us how you felt firstly, when you tell us where you were, how you felt, and just through those sort of early moments of realising that today was the final day of Stokes' career.
Stuart Broad 1:57
Yeah, about uh five to three this afternoon, uh the Sky Commentary box got a a a sort of a note basically saying Three o'clock. England in Instagram or social media accounts. We're gonna post a video. Of Ben Stokes. Announcing his retirement to the team this morning. So I was like, Oh my gosh, okay, right. So our producer, uh Reaver, said, Right, Brody, I want you on air um when this news breaks. So I sort of come into the commentary box and then we're waiting and I'm just I think I did about eleven percent battery on my iPhone just refreshing, like, where's this post? Where's this post? It's not come, it's not come. Uh and then after twenty minutes we we got a note saying, Okay, three twenty-five. this note is coming.
Stuart Broad 2:46
So I was on with Mike Atherton and just a ticker came up at the bottom of of Sky Sports Cricket after they'd posted that Instagram account saying Ben Stokes is is retiring from international cricket. So Michael Atherton announced that on Sky and actually at Test matches, for those that don't know or haven't been, there's a lot of people wear the earpieces. Uh so they listen to the commentary.

What emotions did Broad feel watching Stokes take a wicket right after announcing his retirement?

Stuart Broad 3:08
So People would have heard that and maybe said to people around them or checked their phone and seen social media. So then Ben Stokes is bowling the next over. Two or three balls later after the announcement, and the crowd all get on their feet and roar and cheer and up they get. And he runs in, bowls one outside off stump, in only the way these great all rounders or great cricketers seem to do, that that moment he's in his eleventh over of the spell, that moment he announces retirement, the next ball, he takes a wicket, caught second slip from Harry Brook, and and You know, I I I felt very emotional myself. He ran off celebrating, the team went berserk, the the crowd went berserk. a and I must admit there were times where I felt like I was gonna have a little cry but um yeah uh emotional day.
Stuart Broad 3:55
Uh I don't think it's fully sunk in that we won't see him in an England shirt ever again. Uh true warrior of the game. Um, but everything comes to an end.
Unknown 4:06
Yeah, certainly does. Very emotional day. What was it like when he came over to the Skycart?
