England’s Ben Stokes faced criticism over his decision to call his batsmen in early during the first innings of the Ashes Test against Australia. Stokes, who was the team’s captain, made the bold move when Joe Root was on 118 and Ollie Robinson had 17. While it was an unusual decision, it ended up working in Australia’s favour when they won the game by two wickets. Stokes’ tactics and those of selectors were scrutinized after the game, with Moeen Ali, who had not played a first-class game in two years, being a particular talking point. Stokes has been praised for his approach, which is to ask his team to play the right way and enjoy themselves, rather than focus on winning or losing. He is hoping that his team can bounce back in the next game, with four more to play in the series. Even after the loss, Stokes and his teammates appeared to be in high spirits.
