Stokes takes the lead as England look to hit reset on Ashes

One of the few success stories from Jon Ronson's So You've Been Publicly Shamed , a book that delves into the worryingly compelling world of online humiliation and real-world consequences, comes from Max Moseley.

The ex-Formula One boss', ermmm, extra-curricular peccadilloes were plastered all over the papers in 2008. And yet, not only did he manage to survive those stories - even retaining his position as FIA president - he emerged more popular than before simply because he refused to be shamed by them.
