‘In the d***’: Stump microphone reveals Ben Stokes’ moment of agony
Australia was unable to remove Ben Stokes as he blasted an Ashes century — but at least Josh Hazlewood managed to hit his middle stump.
Forget Tim Paine’s wicketkeeping banter — this is what stump microphones were created for.
Ben Stokes enjoyed a couple of lives in his unbeaten century on day five of the Second Test but Aussie fast bowler Josh Hazlewood ensured he didn’t escape completely unscathed by clattering the ball into his protected area.
“Oh, in the d***!” cried Stokes, as he crumpled to the ground.
