England captain Ben Stokes even termed the staff’s victory over Pakistan as one of many nation’s best away take a look at wins in historical past. At the post-match presentation ceremony, Stokes stated that he had ‘no curiosity’ in making an attempt to play for a draw.
“Some of the things we can’t plan for is what happened to the squad before the Test. Seems a long time ago when we were running around to find players for the Test. Will Jacks getting the message three minutes before toss, and Pope getting the gloves. We’ve played 8-9 matches with myself and Brendon in charge. One thing we try to do is focus on ourselves and not the opposition. We know we’re a very exciting team. Was a great batting surface, so it was an opportunity for our batting group. Having the lads truck in like they did today was amazing. Really special group of players. We wanted to come here to Pakistan and carry on with our mantra of exciting cricket.
“I’ve received no real interest in making an attempt to play for a draw, the dressing room has no real interest in enjoying for a draw. Felt on this sort of wicket, virtually needed to entice the batsmen to play an attacking shot. Today we had been lucky to get the ball reverse-swinging. James Anderson and Ollie Robinson had been improbable at present. We gained most likely about 8 minutes earlier than we might’ve come off. This might be up there as one in all England’s best away wins,”stated the England Test captain.
Considering the character of outcomes England have produced in Test cricket lately, it is protected to say that the ‘Bazzball’ is right here to remain.
