What was your reaction? Did you find out through a WhatsApp group chat or an email? How did you find out this was all unfolding with Ben Stokes?

Well, I was commentating with Steve Harmison.

We are commentating overseas to an overseas audience.

So, you know, you can listen in New Zealand, actually.

Jeremy Coney is part of the team as well.

But because I'm the cricket editor at TalkSport, I'm on the official ECB WhatsApp group.

So I actually got a message 10 minutes before to say that Stokes had retired and that it was going to be announced at a bizarrely precise and archaic time for such an announcement 15 minutes before the tea break.

How will you remember him and his international career?
