He wrote: “Bags not turned up off the plane @British_Airways and help would be greatly appreciated.” In reply, the airways wrote: “Hi Ben, I'm sorry to hear this has happened. Can you send us your details in a DM so we can look into this for you? Anthony.” Seeing that, fans shared their views on social media.

“I said to Pat, what a series to be a part of.” - Ben Stokes

After the fifth Test, Stokes said: "Actually really good, 2-2 I think it a fair reflection of two teams going toe to toe. Australia, WTC champions, quality team. But going 2-0 down, I don't think many teams would have responded the way we did. Standing here pretty content with what we've achieved. Having played a lot of cricket, we know what it's like in a fourth-innings chase. Usman and Warner, they played incredible well to walk off with the runs they did , but turning up with 250 needed, you should never underestimate how hard that is. Wickets came in clusters, it was do or die, but it's been that way since the second Test.” 

When he was asked about any regrets, regarding that, he said: “Hindsight never loses, does it. Coming into this series, to bounce back from 2-0 down, it would have been tough for any team. I said to Pat, what a series to be a part of. I think it's what Test cricket needed. We've been very vocal about our objectives, and I think this series has done that, it's attracted a new audience. Test cricket is the purest form of the game.”
