In the first game, he had a suggestion at the back end of the innings and rather than saying 'do this', it was more like 'what do you think of this?'”,That made it so much easier than having someone telling you exactly what to do. He empowered me and backed me 100%: he gave me that responsibility so that if I did fail, I failed on my own terms. Even in that short time, he demonstrated how calm he was as a captain, Klaassen adds. Despite having only spent a week with Buttler in the Hundred, Klaassen felt absolutely comfortable contacting him for assistance on a personal matter following the third Netherlands-England ODI in Amstelveen last week. To me, Jos is an absolute gun and has that aura, Klaassen states, but he also brings humility as well which was really refreshing. Also read: Jos Buttler dominance: RR batter's 2022 tally second-highest in IPL history,Buttler's biggest difficulty will be regulating his tasks: he keeps wicket in both white-ball formats and appears poised for a more recurring role at No. 4 in ODI cricket, as well as opening the batting for England in T20Is. Nothing in his career to date implies that his form will suffer as a result of the increased burden: his ODI record is moderately higher as captain, his T20I record is slightly worse. Buttler stated that it was crucial for him to try and be myself as captain after standing in for Morgan in the third ODI in the Netherlands, in which he struck 86 not out off 64 balls. I'm not Eoin, he clarified. I can't try to be him, so I'll just have to - when I get to do it - try to be myself and be open to learning about it. England's new white-ball coach, Matthew Mott, stated that Buttler seamlessly transitioned in that encounter after Morgan was ruled out due to a groin injury; he will be hoping that the same is true for the full-time role.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_wUOvSKrfq.jpg","role":2},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"51.5072","longitude":"-0.1276","name":"London, UK","city":"City of Westminster"},"keywords":"England,Buttler,Bangladesh,Morgan,Eoin Morgan,Jos Buttler,Manchester Originals,Netherlands,Paul Farbrace,Alex Hales,Mirpur,Roy Keane,Somerset,the 2015,World Cup","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-01T01:30:00+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"9L106lpKeik2","slug":"english/england-will-come-out-with-same-mindset-against-india-ben-stokes","title":"England will come out with same mindset against India: Ben Stokes","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-28T05:48:05.817288+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1656395284.713011, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Leeds, Jun 28 (PTI) Relentless in their 3-0 sweep of New Zealand, England captain Ben Stokes said there will be no let-up in intensity against India in the upcoming rescheduled fifth Test.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Under the leadership of Stokes and new coach Brendon McCullum, England recorded a phenomenal 3-0 win in the Test series against reigning WTC champions New Zealand, capping it off with a seven-wicket victory in the third and final match at Headingley.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The one-off Test against India, a part of last year's five-match series, which was abandoned due to a COVID-19 outbreak, will begin at Edgbaston on Friday.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" \\\"Trust me when I say this.

Under the leadership of Stokes and new coach Brendon McCullum, England recorded a phenomenal 3-0 win in the Test series against reigning WTC champions New Zealand, capping it off with a seven-wicket victory in the third and final match at Headingley. The one-off Test against India, a part of last year's five-match series, which was abandoned due to a COVID-19 outbreak, will begin at Edgbaston on Friday. Trust me when I say this. We'll be coming out with exactly the same (aggressive) mindset, even though it's a different opposition, Stokes said on Monday. Obviously, it's going to be a completely different... different opposition, with their attack and players as well. We'll be concentrating on what we've done well over these last three games and look to continue that against India on Friday. The visitors are leading the five-match series 2-1 but will face a revitalised England, which comprise only four members -- Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Bairstow and James Anderson -- from last year's fourth Test against the Indians. Stokes himself was not available for the series last year as he had taken a break to focus on his mental health. England endured a tough time in the last few months, winning just once in 17 Tests before the New Zealand series. Praising his teammates for turning things around, Stokes said: To walk away with a 3-0 series win over the best team in the world is a pretty special start.

Stood at slips, a resigned grin shyly appearing, shoulders hunched, Root looked less a leader of the Three Lions, more a rabbit stuck in the headlights. While he would often burst forth with the bat, scripting sublime knocks, the toils of overseeing session after session of patchy cricket coupled with verbal spitfires from across the fence had its inevitable consequences. Speaking to reporters after the Lords' test, Root recalled feeling mentally exhausted by the end of it all: ,It had become a very unhealthy relationship, to be honest - the captaincy and me, it started to really take a bad toll on my own personal health. I couldn't leave it at the ground any more; it was coming home. It wasn't fair on my family, on people close to me, and it wasn't fair on myself either, quotes the Reuters. Also Read: England skipper Ben Stokes hails 10k man Joe Root, debutant Matthew Potts after win vs New Zealand,Stepping down after the test series in the Caribbean-on the heels of a crushing Ashes series- he was replaced by his long-time aide and on-field confidant, Ben Stokes. Formally taking his bow as permanent England captain, the Christchurch born all-rounder was on hand to watch his star batsman stroke England to victory in a topsy-turvy first test at Lords. Chasing 277, England was in the pits at 69/4, but in Root, they had a steady presence. His sterling 115* is an instant Lords classic against a skilful bowling side. Batting with an easy elegance, Root would reacquaint himself with the more loving aspects of cricket: runs, wins, respect, love, the whole cocktail. In doing so, he would also beat his old captain Alistair Cook to become the fastest Englishman to 10000 runs. Cook, himself on commentary duty with the BBC, would later gush about the Yorkshireman's brilliance to the broadcaster: ,He is a pleasure to watch, the most complete England batsman I have seen. The person who could play the most incredible innings was Kevin Pietersen, but for the most complete batsmen in all three forms, it's Root. His consistency is incredible. Predicting him to surpass his tally of runs, he touched upon Root's stress-free knack for scoring runs: ,I would never have said I would finish at 33, but the time felt right for me. The mental strain I felt to score runs took a toll on me. I'm not saying it's easy for him, but he doesn't seem to have that problem. Barring injury, he'll go miles past my record. ,Also Read: Where New Zealand lost the first Test vs England,Having relinquished captaincy duties, the 31-year-old can exclusively focus on his batting.

You should be able to leapfrog over all those early issues and get into the nitty gritty straight away. Shastri felt that Ben Stokes would be the ideal choice to take the England team forward. The adrenaline of captaincy – not that he needs it – could fire Stokes up to be something even more than the incredible player he is now. The important relationship is with the captain – the moment there is friction, things go downhill. But they will be fine because the England I saw last year, they have enough talent and skill to compete. There’s no doubt about that in my mind. It’s all about their mindset.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"India,Shastri,Joe Root,London,Robert Key,Ravi Shastri,England,UK,Guardian,Kent","originalPublishedOn":"2022-04-26T04:57:04.212476+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"G1bCcUcvYFtI","slug":"english/justin-langer-out-of-england-head-coach-race-amid-buzz-of-ben-stokes-as-new-captain","title":"Langer out of England head coach race amid buzz of Stokes as new captain","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_BAlobacT6.jpg","coverCaption":"(Photo credit: Twitter/JustinLanger)","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-04-25T16:52:08.529044+00:00","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eJustin Langer was highly interested to become England coach\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eHe quit Australia's head coach job after winning the Ashes 4-0 earlier this year\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eBen Stokes, who sets to become England captain, wants a tactician in the dressing room\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1650905528148,\\\"strCount\\\":3468,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"\u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/topic/justinlanger\\\\\\\"\u003eJustin Langer’s\u003c/a\u003e bid to become \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/topic/englandcricketteam\\\\\\\"\u003eEngland\u003c/a\u003e\\\\nmen’s cricket team's head coach ended without any success as the England and Wales Cricket\\\\nBoard (ECB) reportedly put his application into a container.
