Duckett Fined £700 for Speeding, Faces Court Bill

0:00On March 31st, England test opener Ben Duckett just got hit with a 700 pound fine for speeding. He was clocked at 93 mph in a 70 mph zone on the A50 near Stoke back on August 24th, just hours. Before smashing it in a 100 match at Old Trafford, Staffordshire cops nailed him, slapped on four points to his license, and he pleaded guilty online last Friday. This comes right after Duckett ditched a 200,000 pound IPL gig with deli capitals to focus on Red Ball cricket for nodding him shire. Locking in his spot ahead of the New Zealand series this summer. Meanwhile, he's been dealing with fallout from a boozy video in Nusa during the Ashes tour, where he slurred his words on a night out. Fans and pundits are buzzing about his spot in the England lineup, especially with his form taking a massive dip over the past year. He called it A, ridiculously big slide himself. That Nusa clip had him apologizing publicly, saying it was unprofessional, and he owns it.

He's had other scraps too, like that pour over with Jimmy Anderson in 2017. Now with the court bill topping 1,100 pounds on the way, Duckett's pushing to rebound on the pitch and keep his test streams alive.
