And the ball that took the wicket is in the MCG museum. My cousin took me there and he didn't actually know that despite being a Melbourne CC member!
And some of the most exciting phases of cricket we've ever seen. Bring in the athletics world championships and rugby world cup
They won **** all. Lost in the world cup and drew the ashes Now the ashes is over you need to find some sad other obsession to do
With the new test championship it will be shown as a draw. Other then Forest and Derby in the football I dont know any other sport where 2 teams have a little trophy for when they play each other A world cup win and a drawn ashes series is still a great summer
Rugby - Calcutta Cup, Cook Cup, Edmund Hillary Cup Bledisloe Cup Cricket - Pataudi trophy for England India - isn't there a Lance Gibbs for England W Indies There's quite a few. Immaterial in terms of your last point - I'd have taken Ashes all day long but yes it's been good - and promising
The Sun have dug up and published a very personal story about Ben Stokes’s family. There appears to be no reason or motive for the article, which goes back to an incident decades ago, other than to sell a few extra copies. Murdoch is scum.
Haven't seen the article but Stokes' response is on the BBC site and the BBC have asked The Sun for an explanation ... heads should roll ...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/49726913 Ben Stokes describes Sun story about family as 'immoral and heartless' please log in to view this image Stokes played a key part as England won the World Cup and then drew 2-2 with Australia in the Ashes England batsman Ben Stokes says the Sun newspaper's front-page story about his family is "utterly disgusting" and the "lowest form of journalism". The newspaper alleges that some of his family, based in New Zealand, had to deal with what Stokes describes as "deeply personal and traumatic events". Stokes, 28, who starred as England won the World Cup this summer, called the article "immoral and heartless". The BBC has contacted the Sun for a response. In a statement, Stokes said the story concerned "events in the private lives of my family, going back more than 31 years" and had "serious inaccuracies which has compounded the damage caused". "The decision to publish these details has grave and lifelong consequences for my mum in particular," he said. The Durham and England all-rounder added: "To use my name as an excuse to shatter the privacy and private lives of - in particular - my parents is utterly disgusting. "It is hard to find words that adequately describe such low and despicable behaviour, disguised as journalism. "I cannot conceive of anything more immoral, heartless or contemptuous to the feelings and circumstances of my family." Stokes produced the match-winning innings as England's men won their first Cricket World Cup at Lord's in July before an incredible 135 not out in the third Ashes Test against Australia at Headingley last month saw England stay in contention in a series they eventually drew 2-2. He added: "I am aware that my public profile brings with it consequences for me that I accept entirely. "But I will not allow my public profile to be used as an excuse to invade the rights of my parents, my wife, my children or other family members. They are entitled to a private life of their own. "For more than three decades, my family has worked hard to deal with the private trauma inevitably associated with these events and has taken great care to keep private what were deeply personal and traumatic events. "On Saturday the Sun sent a 'reporter' to my parents' home in New Zealand to question them, out of the blue, on this incredibly upsetting topic. If that wasn't bad enough, the Sun think it is acceptable to sensationalise our personal tragedy for their front page. "This is the lowest form of journalism, focused only on chasing sales with absolutely no regard for the devastation caused to lives as a consequence. It is totally out of order."
Its about time to media was held accountable for the vile stuff they put out. This story isnt in the public interest. Freedom of the press is so outdated and the law needs bringing in line with 2019. Its not news as it happened over 30 years ago. Before Stokes was even born They say Stokes has been hiding a secret. Its called a private life you pieces of **** They also claim it was a “family member” who leaked it to them. That woman the vile money grabbing scum isnt related to Ben Stokes at all so they cant hide behind that angle. I hope Stokes sues the **** out the sun
