England Not Standing up Under Pressure in Ashes, Says Stokes
Ben Stokes says England’s dropped catches and execution failures under pressure led to their 2-0 Ashes series deficit against Australia.
- On Sunday, England lost by eight wickets at the Gabba, leaving the five-match Ashes series 2-0 as Ben Stokes criticised the England Test team’s mentality and urged more fight.
- England's fielding errors left a series of dropped catches that allowed Australia to amass 511, and England collapsed from 90/1 to 134/6 as bowlers leaked runs.
- Stokes and Will Jacks put together a 96-run stand on day four, with Ben Stokes making 50 and Joe Root scoring his first Ashes century in Australia.
- England have nine days to regroup before the third Test in Adelaide on December 17, and Ben Stokes said selection changes are likely, with Mark Wood a possible return and Ollie Pope under scrutiny.
- Historically speaking, only Don Bradman's 1936-37 Australia overturned a 2-0 deficit, and England Test team’s winless streak in Australia since 2010-11 highlights the daunting challenge.
