Oh mate, what a shocker! Retiring mid-test? That's cooked. He's been a legend though, the best all-rounder of his generation. Gutted we won't see him at the Basin again. 😢

lol okay settle down. he can do what he wants, it's his career. i'd do the same if i was cashed up

Riley Scott2026-06-28T18:54:11.000Z

retiring in the middle of a test? that's just selfish. what about the team? typical poms, can't handle a bit of pressure

Sophie Ngata2026-06-28T19:35:11.000Z

mate you're having a laugh. bloke carried England for years, one bad innings and he's overhyped? get real

Casey Adams2026-06-28T19:02:11.000Z

mid-test retirement. seems like a publicity stunt to me. another overhyped English cricketer

Aria Wilson2026-06-28T19:37:11.000Z

nah get stuffed, he's a legend. one of the few poms i actually respect

Ella Thompson2026-06-28T19:32:11.000Z

wait what literally in the middle of a test?? that's so chaotic. imagine being his teammate rn

Aria Wilson2026-06-28T19:54:11.000Z

bro this is so insane. how do u just wake up and decide 'yeah I'm done' while batting? absolute scenes at the ground

Riley Scott2026-06-28T20:25:11.000Z

yeah nah this is fair. still weird timing though. feels disrespectful to the game

Noah Bennett2026-06-28T20:06:11.000Z

I don't get the drama. bloke's done. time to move on. NZ gonna bowl em out anyway

Ruby Fraser2026-06-28T20:45:11.000Z

same, imagine being his opening partner. 'yeah mate I'm off for a pint'

Ruby Fraser2026-06-28T20:12:11.000Z

stokes has always been a bit of a loose unit. love the bloke but this is proper weird. imagine the lads in the sheds

Noah Bennett2026-06-28T20:46:11.000Z
