I’ve seen some remarkable cricket moments in my life but that is the best I’ve seen in over 50 years.
@benstokes38
saved the Ashes and gave a magical inspirational innings. Even better than his World Cup performance.
Well done

22 years later, after humiliations, hurdles and sacrifices, my sons’ father is Pakistan’s next PM. It’s an incredible lesson in tenacity, belief & refusal to accept defeat. The challenge now is to remember why he entered politics in the 1st place. Congratulations

I am who I am, I’ve made mistakes and I do try to learn from them despite what people might say. But bringing up my past and trying to make out I harp on about it simply isn’t true and it’s a cheap shot to make an article off the back of degrading me.

@telecricket
@GeoffreyBoycott
This is the Boycott who turned his back on England from 74-77, refused to play under Tony Greig, and thus avoided meeting Lillee/Thomson & Holding/Roberts at their finest. Stones and glasshouses come to mind.
