England defeated New Zealand by five wickets in the second Test at Trent Bridge to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the three-match series, making it one of the most memorable victories in Test cricket history. Amazingly, the home team triumphed in Nottingham after dismissing the visitors for 284 in their second innings by chasing down a difficult total of 299 on the last day. It was a manifestation of the upbeat mindset and aggressive intent that Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, the new English team management, had decided to instill in their players. The wicketkeeper for England’s Test team has now commented on Brendon McCullum “Braveheart-style” team talk at the Trent Bridge Test’s last day’s lunch break.
Baz’s team talk at tea was like William Wallace, someone commented. ESPNcricinfo cited Foakes as stating. “Everyone was eager to enter the field after he finished.
In that circumstance, the conventional Test strategy would be to “see how it goes, see how many wickets we have left, and then if the situation isn’t there, do we shut up shop?” “Nah, we’re not doing that,” he said. This game is going our way. If we don’t, so be it; we followed the correct procedure. Even if we lose this game, it won’t matter. It also relieved the pressure.
“I wanted to avoid being too undecided and not knowing how I should be playing because I had a few questions. It was beneficial for me to be honest with [ Brendon McCullum ] about any reservations I had because he was quite straightforward “Added he.
It has altered the way I view Test cricket, adds Foakes. “There are undoubtedly many demands, complaints, and other things associated with representing England. That weighs on you if you consider it too much. But over the past two weeks, it has become abundantly evident the advantages and how incredible representing England can be. Because of who they are, Baz and Stokesy encourage that.”
Prior to the current Test series against New Zealand. England has only won one game out of seventeen in their previous five-Test series.
A target of 273 runs in 75 overs against New Zealand was set just a year ago. But England, then coached by Chris Silverwood, chose to settle for a draw instead.
England, though, bulldozed their way to win in Nottingham, propelled by Jonny Bairstow’s stunning 136 off just 92 balls and motivational speeches from Brendon McCullum.
Ben Stokes, the captain of England, scored an undefeated 75.
At Leeds’ Headingley on Thursday, the third and final Test will begin.
