- England squad came under fire for boozy break between Tests
Ashes legend Graeme Swann has taken aim at the so called fan who recorded and uploaded a video of England opener Ben Duckett seeming to be intoxicated to social media.
The footage of the Duckett was published to social media last week before the Boxing Day Test.

Duckett was slammed for his actions by some – but others leapt to his defence.
Swann believes the person who took the video and uploaded it online should be the one fans are angry at.
‘I think (the man filming this) is disgusting,’ he told the Willow Talk Cricket Podcast.

Duckett’s teammate Jacob Bethell also came under fire for his actions after he was seen at a Noosa venue.
The controversy only seemed to galvanise the England squad.
