MUCH is quite rightly being made of Ben Stokes’ heroics in the World Cup and recent Test Match against Australia – it did, however, make me smile that there have been suggestions of a knighthood.
Unfortunately, little mention has been made of number eleven batsman Jack Leach who steadfastly held his end in the Test Match and made Ben Stokes’ achievement and England’s win possible.
He has not been given the credit he so rightly deserves.
