“There is a saying that we have said a lot here — Australia is not for weak men,” Stokes told the BBC. “A dressing room that I am captain of is not a place for weak men either.“
“Do we need to start thinking about what mentality we are taking into those pressure moments?” Stokes said. “When we are on top we are great and when behind the game we are also very good but when that moment is neck and neck we are not coming out on top on enough occasions.”
The three games of the Ashes series are left as the Australian team is firing up on their arch-rivals. On the other hand, Ben Stokes’s side need to bounce back to make the competition more good and intense. The next match of the Ashes will be played on December 17th.
