England all-rounder Ben Stokes pulled off an Ashes miracle as the hosts leveled the five-match Test series 1-1, registering their first win in the ICC World Test Championship at Headingley. After such an extraordinary one-wicket win over rival Aussies, Stokes revealed how he and his teammates celebrated the win on Sunday (August 25).
Stokes wrote a column in the Daily Mirror about how the team celebrated which read, “We started in the changing room and they had the full replay of the partnership with me and Jack Leach on the TV, so we all watched it together with Alastair Cook who came up to see everyone.”
“It was great to relive it all and the atmosphere in the dressing room was just brilliant, even with three guys stood in the bathtub, and I have no idea why. Joe Denly, Jos Buttler and Rory Burns were all in there singing songs and asking people to get in the bath with them, but it was just too hot so we had to go outside,” Stokes wrote.
The 28-year-old all-rounder born in New Zealand then went on to reveal that Stokes and Co. had a McDonald’s meal to celebrate as he wrote, “Me, Buttler, (Chris) Woakes, Burns and (Joe) Root all jumped in an uber and got £55 worth of McDonald's drive-thru on the way. There were quarter pounders and filet 'o' fish flying everywhere.”
Stokes then paid tribute to his wife, who supported him when he was charged following an incident outside a Bristol nightclub in 2017. “Clare has been brilliant and so supportive throughout the years. I didn't actually see Clare until late in the evening when we got back from the ground. I still had my training gear on and my England cap. The first thing she spotted was the bag in my hand. She said, ‘Oh, so we've been to McDonald's have we?” he wrote.
