London: Geoffrey Boycott, a legendary cricketer for England, was extremely upset with Ben Stokes and the team's performance in the second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord's. In order to give Australia a significant lead in the contest, England lost their last six wickets for just under 50 runs.
Boycott's expression during the game has since gone viral. The legendary England player can be seen putting his face in his hands during the England innings in a footage shared on social media. Boycott himself responded to the picture on social media saying - "Yes it does, batting without brains. Chatting to my captain Mike Brearley."
