Moeen Ali claims he was called 'Osama' by an Australian player during the 2015 Ashes.

The England all-rounder says the incident occurred during the first Test in Cardiff, where the hosts won by 169 runs on their way to a 3-2 series win.

Ali took five wickets in the match and scored a rapid 77 in the first innings, but admits he had 'never been so angry on a cricket field'.

He writes in his upcoming autobiography, serialised in The Times, that he spent the Test match 'distracted' despite his star performance with bat and ball.

'It was a great first Ashes Test in terms of my personal performance, however there was one incident which had distracted me.

'An Australian player had turned to me on the field and said, "Take that, Osama." I have never been so angry on a cricket field. 

'I told a couple of the guys what the player had said to me and I think Trevor Bayliss must have raised it with Darren Lehmann, the Australians' coach.

'Lehmann asked the player, "Did you call Moeen Osama?" He denied it, saying, "No, I said, "Take that, you part-timer."" 

'I must say I was amused when I heard that for there is a world of difference between the words "Osama" and "part-timer".

'Although I couldn't have mistaken "part-timer" for "Osama", obviously I had to take the player's word for it, though for the rest of the match I was angry. 

'But our eventual triumph and the Cardiff crowd's reaction to me comforted me that the Australian player represented nobody.'

Ali's revelations come after he claimed in an interview that Australia were the only team he disliked, labelling them abusive and rude.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
