Ben Stokes Reply In Style To Taunting “Cry Babies” Headline Of Australian Newspaper.
Ben Stokes, captain of the England Test side, has been making waves both on and off the field. During the second Ashes Test, Stokes shared his views on Jonny Bairstow’s stumping on Day 5, which sparked a spirited debate about the spirit of cricket. While there may be differing opinions on this matter, there is no denying that Stokes’ exceptional performance in that innings was one of the finest displays in recent times, coming tantalizingly close to securing a victory for England at Lord’s.
In a surprising turn of events, Stokes responded to an Australian newspaper article that depicted him in nappies with the headline “crybabies.” ‘The West Australian’ went on to declare, “Poms take whingeing to a new level with ‘cheating’ drivel,” in reference to Stokes and England head coach Brendon McCullum lecturing Australia on the spirit of cricket following Bairstow’s dismissal.
Stokes came up with an unexpected witty reply to the Australian newspaper “Thatโs definitely not me, since when did I bowl with the new ball.”
The spirit of cricket came into question during the as Alex Carey stumped his English counterpart, Jonny Bairstow. Bairstow had momentarily wandered off the crease, assuming the ball was dead, but to his surprise, it was still live. Australia chose not to withdraw the appeal, and the third umpire promptly declared Bairstow out. This incident had a pivotal impact on the game, as it opened up an end for Australia. Despite an incredible innings of 155 runs by Ben Stokes, England fell short by 43 runs, resulting in an Australian victory.
