Manchester: It was a spilt coffee on which Ben Stokes sat as he would say, but the world’s premier all-rounder got social media buzzing when he had a stain on the backside of his trousers.
England’s fielders, including captain Joe Root, were left in splits after a brown patch appeared on Stokes’ white trousers on the second day of England’s third Test against West Indies at Old Trafford here.
The world’s No. 1 all-rounder tried to hide the mark by pulling down his sweater, before also having a laugh. “Sat in spilt coffee FYI,” Stokes later took to Twitter to reply to one post on Test Match Special on the same incident which got social media talking.
Former England striker Gary Linekar had a similar incident during a World Cup game in 1990 where he and Leicester City forward stretched for a ball and lost control of his bowels. (IANS)
