Aus Vs Eng Ashes 2023: Just when we thought England could not surprise us more, Stokes went ahead and did it again. Harry Brook was one of the strangest dismissals in the first inning, and he made the headlines in the second inning with his bowling.
Harry Brook is not someone you usually associate with bowling. But since this is Stokes and we are in the Bazball era, we have seen that now. Ben Stokes wanted to see how Smith would fare against a slow medium pacer in the Aus Vs Eng Ashes 2023.
Steve Smith was not fazed even a little bit by the speed of Harry Brook. Brook only bowled 1 over and was never brought back into the attack again. He gave only one run, which was enough to give Twitter content for a few months.
Ricky Ponting in shock
Ricky Ponting was in the commentary box when Stokes took the decision and gave the ball to Harry Brook. Ponting was questioning the decision and stated that if he wanted to move away from pace, Joe Root and Moeen Ali were viable options.
Micheal Atherton quickly rescued the current English captain and gave Ponting a quirky reply: "This is Bazball." Later in the day, Ben Stokes got Steve Smith's wicket to dismiss the current best Test batsman.

Social Media in Chaos
The decision left the commentators and experts questioning themselves and sent Twitter into utter chaos. Users went onto their social media accounts to showcase their reactions. It was nothing less than chaos.
BBC reporter Henry Moeran stated that watching Ben Stokes captaining is special. You never know what will happen on the next delivery itself.
