Ben Stokes Drops Massive Comment After Pink-Ball Test

English captain Ben Stokes and Head Coach Brendon McCullum have been under the fire for England's dismal performance in Australia. England did try to play old school Test cricket in a few phases of the game, but it was not enough. The only positive for England was Joe Root's first century 'Down Under', but apart from him, England's batting crumbled like a pack of cards.

England do have a lot of soul searching to do ahead of the next Ashes Test match and there might be a few changes that they need to ring in. The English team is in a do-or-die situation as one more loss will see the Ashes shift to Cricket Australia's trophy cabinet.
