England all-rounder Ben Stokes is finding some perspective after returning to cricket from a six-month absence due to a finger injury and for a mental health break.
Stokes sent down 25 overs in taking 3/113 in a draining, physical effort in the second Ashes test at Adelaide, part of the 150 overs England spent in the field over the first two days. England resumed on Saturday at 17/2 in reply to Australia바카라s imposing 473-9 declared.
바카라It has been a tough two days,바카라 Stokes told Australian Associated Press. 바카라It's never ideal but you have just got to love the dirt when you get that deep and understand what you바카라re playing for.바카라
Stokes also took a wider view of England바카라s struggles, noting the tragic jumping castle accident in Tasmania on Thursday which killed five children.
바카라The reason why the Australians were wearing the black armbands today puts a lot of things into perspective,바카라 he said. Stokes was upbeat about his return.
바카라I have loved every minute of it,바카라 he said. 바카라Walking out onto the field and wearing the Three Lions is one of the great feelings as a cricketer.바카라 Stokes defended England's first-day bowling tactics at Adelaide Oval which revolved around sustained periods of short-pitched bowling.
바카라It's just trying to create a different type of, not energy, but create a different type of environment out there for the batters,바카라 Stokes said on Friday. 바카라It does look odd when you're trying to run in and bowl 11 overs of short stuff. But the first couple of spells I felt like it created quite a lot of chances.바카라
Australia, who holds the Ashes, won the first test in Brisbane by nine wickets. The third of five Tests in the series begins on December 26 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
