What did Stokes say?
34 -year -old Ben Stokes said, “This experience was incredible. We have many great moments in the leads and now this victory has also joined them. The Test match has gone up to the last hour and we have been successful in chasing the big goal, this is a really special beginning.”
He praised Docket and Jack Croly fiercely, saying, “Docks were amazing. The pressure of run chase in the fourth innings is very difficult, especially in England’s circumstances. Jack and Docket’s partnership gave us a great start.”
Jack Crolee’s contribution also appreciated
Stokes said, “Docket played a big innings, which was decisive in our victory, but the restraint and focus with which Jack Croly played was equally important. Jack’s 65 runs also matters a lot.”
Dhakad all-rounder said, “I think the combination of jack and docket becomes a big challenge for the bowlers. The left-right combination bowlers do not allow the bowlers to be set, when both of them stay at the crease for a long time, it becomes difficult for the opposition team to dismiss them.”
