But the perceptive skipper noticed a small problem with the graphics.
In response, Stokes tweeted: “Definitely not me, since when have I been bowling the new ball?”
And one fan replied: “Tweet of the decade 😆🙌❤👍Ben”
Another tweeted: “That’s great from Ben Stokes.”
And a third wrote: “Ben Stokes hasn’t lost his sense of humor. Well done buddy. #Ashes is fun.”

The reaction from the angry members was slightly overdone for Australian outfielder Matt Renshaw, who appeared to point in their direction and laugh.
Hostilities resume at Headingley on Thursday, where tensions are set to heat up even further as the Long Room spikes give way to a rowdy Western Terrace.
