“Very proud of the team for persevering and going through all those feelings. That’s another great game we’ve been a part of, and I’d be intrigued if we didn’t keep people on the edge of their seats all through this Test. Good justification for more Australians and English fans to follow the Ashes,” Stokes said at the post-game awards ceremony.
Ben Stokes: “We’ll keep playing like this”
When questioned about the loss, Stokes stated that the nature of the game would not affect how England intended to play Test cricket. “A defeat is a defeat; we declared that we would continue to play like this. We’ll keep playing like this, pressing Australia and making decisions that feel right,” he said.
Stokes have no regrets about announcing the first innings on Day 1
Stokes declared their first innings on Day 1 of the Test when England was 393/8. The all-around star did not admit to having changed his mind since making his decision.
“No, I thought it was an opportunity to capitalize on Australia. It is never simple for someone to bat for 20 minutes. Exactly what? We might have been in the same spot if Root and Jimmy had managed to escape,” he claimed.
