Former Australia coach Justin Langer has opened up about Ben Stokes' heroic match-winning innings at Headingley during the 2019 Ashes, branding it the "worst day of my cricket career".
Australia retained the Ashes that year, but were unable to secure a first Ashes series win away from home since 2001 and a large part of that was Stokes' stunning 135 not out in the third Test which earned England a one wicket win and is regarded as perhaps the best Test innings of all time.
And Langer, who was speaking on the 10-part original podcast series from Global – Legends of The Ashes, says Stokes is the one player in world cricket he would love to coach. He also revealed he put a baggy green cap on him and "carried him out of the changing room" when the two teams shared a drink at the end of the season.
