"Ben Stokes Blasts England for Crumbling Under Pressure in Ashes Defeat Against Australia at Gabba"

England's Ben Stokes Calls for Mentality Shift After Ashes Defeat in Brisbane

England faced another setback in the Ashes series as they suffered a crushing eight-wicket defeat against Australia in the second Test at the Gabba in Brisbane. Skipper Ben Stokes expressed disappointment in his team's mentality and called for more resilience after the loss.

Stokes acknowledged the team's shortcomings in handling pressure situations, stating, "When the game is on the line, teams are able to handle that pressure better than us." He emphasized the importance of mindset and clear decision-making under pressure to succeed at the international level.

Reflecting on the performance, Stokes highlighted England's failure to execute their plans with both bat and ball. The team dropped crucial catches, struggled to build pressure on the opposition, and failed to deliver consistent performances when it mattered the most.

With Australia taking a 2-0 lead in the series, England faces an uphill battle as they prepare for the third Test in Adelaide starting on December 17. Stokes and his team are determined to regroup, address their weaknesses, and put up a stronger fight in the upcoming matches.
