English cricket great Graeme Swann slams man for filming Ben Duckett’s drunken stint in Noosa
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.
