Ben Stokes has hit back at recent Australian coverage of remarks he made during the Ashes, claiming he lives 'rent free' in their minds. The quote from Stokes that fuelled Australian media came after rain took away England's chances of winning the fourth Test in Manchester last summer. With two days left to play, Australia were behind by 61 runs with five wickets in hand.
'I know it's going to be a bit flat, I know it's going to hurt that we go into the next game not being able to get the urn back. 'But what we have done is something a lot bigger than any Ashes trophy could ever signify for this team - be the team that everybody will always remember.' The quote gained traction on social media, leading Stokes to react to the coverage of his speech on Wednesday.
