England captain Ben Stokes says the tourists are \u201cquite emotional\u201d after their bold dreams of coming to Australia to snatch the Ashes were dashed before Christmas.<\/p>\n

The tourists have a 0-3 series deficit after 11 days of Test play in Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide and have only a five-day break before the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, that dream that we came here with is now over – which is obviously incredibly disappointing,\u201d Stokes told Seven in the aftermath of Australia\u2019s 82-run win at the Adelaide Oval.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is obviously hurting and quite emotional about it.<\/p>\n

\u201c[But] we\u2019ve got two more games to go and that\u2019s where the focus needs to switch to now. We obviously came here with a goal in mind, and we\u2019ve not been able to achieve that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt hurts, and it sucks, but we ain\u2019t going to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pressed on the main difference between Australia and England, the veteran campaigner said the host nation\u2019s superiority came down to consistency.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think just the constant execution,\u201d said Stokes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAustralia have been able to executive things on a much more consistent basis than us, both with the ball, with the bat and in the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis game of cricket it is based on how you bat and how you bowl, and how you field. And they\u2019ve been able to out-do us on a much higher level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe showed it in passages in these first three games and again, this week we did incredibly well to take it where we did to in this fourth innings [today].\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England captain Ben Stokes says the tourists are \u201cquite emotional\u201d after their bold dreams of coming to Australia…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":361919,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-361998","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cricket","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
